Digital Smarts - Basic Manners for Social Media

Although written with a business audience in mind, this helpful infographic on Social Media Etiquette is a telling synopsis of the dos and don’ts of getting along with others on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Linked In, and Pinterest. Bottom line for all these platforms seems to be 1) keep it simple and to the point, 2) don’t over post or hashtag and 3) give credit when using someone else’s post or material. That’s called a “hat tip” on Google Plus, and just like everywhere else in life, most people on these social networking sites want to be credited for their contributions.
