It’s weird how we have to consider how responsible our friends might or might not be with our with our data. The Facebook fiasco reminds us that we can’t just blindly post our every move anymore.

So, have baseball bat will travel, then?

Oh, I’ve let tons of comments go unanswered. Then again, if I feel the need they have to be answered, I’m in big style.

I think it would be different offline. You have infinite social cues that you don't have online (body language, facial expressions). The social norms offline are picked up very quickly and very naturally. How often do you not comment back to someone who irked you by how they've shared? .-= John Haydon´s most recent blog post ...Start Blogging Today – An new online classroom for growing nonprofits and small businesses =-.

It seems that Facebook are more concerned about numbers than what the numbers are doing.

Yep, very annoying.

Especially if the originating tag could end up being tied into someone that’s, say, racist, homophobic, bigoted, etc.

There’s fun with friends and then there’s the other level.

Would it be the same offline, John, or do you think it’s primarily the fact that we encourage folks to be open as part of “doing” social media?

That’s the tough thing with Facebook, you can’t control what others do but there are options in place to have tags removed but if it becomes persistent with friends it can become annoying real quick.

Thanks for the post Danny. This is news to me and good information to know. I’ll have to take a closer look at that Facebook Like feature. As a young PR pro, it seems rather silly (not to mention unethical) that people would incorrectly tag someone in a post just to get their attention.

Danny – A lot of this comes down to setting expectations. Obviously, some people assume that it’s ok to tag people in photos and videos, even if they’re not there. Yeah, you’d assume they should know better, but who am I to judge.

My only responsibility is to expectations, like I did with status update.

Goes to show that there’s a big difference between knowing the media, and knowing the social.

That’s interesting. People tweet about blog posts but don’t add comments? That’s not spam, how?

The sarcasm level here is high.
