#9 The "Overposting" Rule

Facebookers . . .

Communication is a great thing. Keeping in touch with one another should be something to look forward to. But somewhere along the line, something went terribly wrong. Somewhere along the line, you started posting status updates about your babies puking and posting pictures of your cats. I'm all for hearing what's going on in your life, but the "News Feed" starts to lose its meaning when "..Had an awesome burger for lunch today" qualifies as news.

Feel free to post things, but try to think at LEAST once, preferably even twice before you throw something up on your page. Keep to a maximum of two posts per day, unless your life really IS that exciting (it's not). Stick to this rule, and you may even keep more friends. A study done by Christopher Sibona of the Colorado Denver Business School cited "posting too much, too often" as the number one reason people get unfriended on facebook.
