save yourself the agony of social networking website blunders from keeping creeps away from your friend list to not uploading those embarrassing party pictures we list this and more social networking sites are here to stay they are among the most popular destinations on the web and even though they can be extremely annoying at times there is one inescapable fact there is a 100 millionstrong army of people who use the most popular of these sites however sitting in your room in front of your laptop being connected to so many people its easy to forget that whatever you say is out there and will stay out there to be read by people for a long time think about it when did you last see someone posting an embarrassing picture or someone else saying something irritating in their status update it could be you the next time dont become that person add old friends and then forget about them this is the biggest social networking crime of them all how many times has it happened you havent seen someone for 20 years you vaguely recognise their name but not their face they add you as a friend and then after you accept them you never hear from them again if this was how you were going to treat them why bother in the first place adding people you dont even know if youre a woman and just maybe you have the kind of looks and bikini bod that could cut it on miamis south beach youre probably used to the term creep and meeting them online okay maybe not everyone has a figure like that adding strangers is like that annoying chap at a party who slaps everyone on the back as if they were old pals when in actual fact he has no friends largely because of this habit update your status when youre supposedly ill and on sick leave how many times have we seen it someone calls in sick in the morning and then updates their status minutebyminute documenting a day of ice cream pizza and video games get dressed and get to work you lazy hoodwink or else youll probably be fired and itll be your own fault for adding your boss to be your friend write on a wall instead of communicating privately the driving force behind the success of the most successful social networking site out there is vanity people love the idea that others are watching what theyre doing tell me this for what reason would you invite someone to a private party by writing on their wall other than to show off to all the people on their friends list who you dont want to come it just makes you look like an ass so dont do it moan in your status update the most annoying thing that people do on these sites is to spray their walls with vanityfilled drivel by posting selfindulgent awfulness in their status updates rachita is
