A large amount of people around the world are using social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but few users know the basic etiquette. The first rule is to avoid sharing all of your thoughts. Facebook is my favorite social media because I like how easy it is to create a post and find new friends. A few friends probably share every piece of information from their day, but not everyone wants to hear what they had for lunch. Another rule is to think carefully before adding photos that include other people. Sharing some photos may be embarrassing to others, so its polite to ask your friends for permission. For example, ask friends before adding photos of them in swimsuits. In addition, many businesses advertise swimsuit sales on social media. A number of fights between friends happen when they make negative comments on each other's web pages. In conclusion, it is important to think carefully before posting on the internet.
