Facebook and similar websites (Twitter, MySpace, etc) are referred to as “social networks.” Because the process is digital, we sometimes forget the “social” because of the “network.” Because Facebook is a social experience, certain rules of social etiquette apply. These rules need to be understood and followed in order for Facebook to remain appropriate and enjoyable for everyone.
