So you think you can Facebook, the advice noone gave you when you signed up – IMHO

(Note:  Read this only if you have a sense of humor 🙂 – this is not intended to offend anyone just my thoughts from when I’ve started using Facebook)1. Don’t: Don’t “Like” your own status update – we know you like it :), you put it up, didn’t you!2. Do: Check your profile to make sure you didn’t add the same status like a zillion times because you didn’t see it in “Top News” (instead of Most Recent). Guilty as charged myself!!!!3. Don’t – Do not click on the “interesting” links you see someone wall/inbox/ping you. If you’re shocked to get a link to Lady Crazy’s recent song from your mom/dad, it probably is just a spam. Then again, even if it was an actual song of hers, it’s still harmful to your health, not kidding.

4. Note: The number of profile picture changes are directly proportional to –
                the no. of children/grandchildren for the doting parents/grandparents
                the no. of vacations/trips taken for newly wed couples
                the no. of years as “single” for unmarried
                the no. of pictures taken of them in their entire lifetime they’ve participated in for the beautiful people (read, in some cases, the plain self obsessed people – you all know who they might be in your friends list lol
                many more – could recall only these now.. that being said I love seeing the profile pics of my FB contacts 🙂

5. Don’t : Don’t use the status update replies as a conversation method with whoever replies. Normal replies fine, but no one needs to see your entire 50 comment conversation, not really J

6.Note: The degree of “In the snow” photos is inversely proportional to the no. of years newly onsite or in a place where it snows.

7. Note: The no. of likes/comments a person adds to someone else’s profile is directly proportional to how much they like/want to like/want to get to know the other person. (Like in the normal sense of the word)

8. If you see a video/access a link/read a note/view a photo album and if you liked it, add a “Like”/”Comment” – don’t enjoy it and then not tell us, meanie!!!

9. Don’t: Don’t always copy paste a quote/video/article link as your status update – we all have Google. Personalize your profile at least a bit as you feel free to.`

10. Don’t: Don’t add every single thing you’re up to each day – If we really wanted to know, we probably call you everyday 🙂

11. Don’t: Don’t fake “Like” or fake “Comment”. Yes, we all sense when someone fakes the likes.

12. Do in moderation: Yes we love the first few photos of your new car/house/gadget/latest hobby/trips – but there is such a thing called novelty. Sadly, it runs out :(.

13. Don’t: Do NOT lash out online. Not about anything that is remotely important – not your job, not your spouse/kid/friends/job/group etc.. You know what they say, once on the internet, it’s there forever. I’ve heard the saying “A friend makes sure you never call anyone when you’re drunk”. My version – have an FB buddy who can make sure you never FB update when mad about anything 🙂

14. Don’t: Don’t add every single person who send you a friend request. Add only those you know or are sure of as legit people in your circle of group/work/friends etc.

15. Do: Related to the above, Do add a person who you know well or are related to.  Unless like point above, you don’t intend to keep in touch or do not know them, then “Ignore” the request. And if the person still keeps sending you request evaluate whether the person is stalkish (Ignore) or someone like me who’s annoyed at being ignored by a friend/relative (Add them already and defriend them quietly later if you have some humanity in you!).

16. Don’t/: Don’t use bad words/language on status updates/replies – you may think it sounds cool when you say it but it isn’t, really it isn’t!!!

17. Important: Make sure FB is just something you do in free time, not something you get addicted to.

An ordinary girl living an ordinary life, living out in the rhythms of grace in God's extraordinary love! A few years ago I'd have thought that by this age I'd know it all.. but I don't. What I do know is that the grace of God has been a blanket over my life, and I hope that through this blog I can share bits of it with you too..God bless! P.S: Abigail is my pen name, but it's actually much more to me now - God called me by this name in my heart in my past and He told me that I would be like the biblical Abigail. Then I used to wonder what I could possibly have in common with her. But now, I know. Of late, God has taught me that I have passed through the past of Abigail, overcome the Nabal. Now I must find the Ruth in me, the one who got beyond every cross of her past, and lived faithfully to a life of God ordained destiny!
