Leo Burnett - Cultural Fuel

I used to have a Facebook account… At the end I deleted my profile because of some things that were just too annoying.

I just found the first guidelines for Facebook! Somebody finally wrote them: James Rivington! Great. Here are my 3 favorites (of 15 things) you should never do on Facebook:

Write on a wall instead of communicating privately
The driving force behind the success of Facebook is… vanity. People love the idea that others are watching what they’re 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 don’t want to come? It just makes you look like a tit, so don’t do it.

Moan in your Facebook status
The most annoying thing that people do on Facebook is to spray their walls with vanity-filled drivel, by posting self-indulgent awfulness in their status updates. “Kerry is sorry how it ended but it had to be done. I love you and will miss you, and I hope you can apologise one day”. Oh sod off. If you’ve got something to say to someone, say it. Don’t post it on your wall because no one else is interested, and people just think you’re a prat.

Inviting me to be a Zombie Pirate Snot Monster
Please don’t do that ever ever again

All 15:
