How Not to Be Hated on Facebook: 10 More Rules

In addition to the petty-yet-so-true tips (like "do not break up with your partner by changing your relationship status"), Claire Suddath from Time adds a couple of her own:

1. Stop taking quizzes. Nobody cares what literary time period you are.

3. Don't friend someone you don't actually know

4. If you must friend someone you don't know, include a message explaining why you are doing so. For example, "Hi, I'm your cousin's roommate!" would suffice.

5. Actually, no. Why would your cousin's roommate want to be your friend? That's still weird.

6. Don't invite people to events if they don't live in your city. I'm glad you still live in our old college town, but guess what? I don't. Even if I did, I still wouldn't waste my Friday night listening to you play music at that vegan coffee shop I frequented when I was 19 because I couldn't get into bars.

9. If you create a group called "Lost my cell phone; need your numbers!," I will join, but I won't give you my number.

10. Cryptic status updates about your mental state — "Rachel is trying so hard," "Rachel wishes things were different," "Rachel is starting her life over" — don't make you sound intriguing, just lonely and pathetic.

It's interesting about how much Facebook plays a role into our lives today (moreover social networking in general with Twitter-craze too) that Time jumps in with these kinds of articles. And you know us we're all about technology so we promise to follow the tips above (Sorry bout #6!). For the complete article, check out Time for all the tips.
