    Friend or Faux: How Do You Pick Your Friends on Social Networks?

    Carl Natale 3rd August Communication 5 Comments

      Do you want to be my friend? Or my follower? Or whatever it is we call each other on this social network? I know we don’t know each other…but that shouldn’t stop you from making me one of your 1,742 friends.

      To be honest, I’m kind of shy when I get friends requests. I generally don’t connect when I don’t know someone. Here are some rules of engagement on my social networks:

      • Foursquare: Absolutely no way if I don’t know you. Because I let people know where I’m hanging out, it seems a little to personal to notify complete strangers.
      • Facebook: Again, I want to know my friends. There are some casual acquaintances in the list. But they are people who I want to know better.
      • LinkedIn: If we haven’t met, then I want to get to know you better. This is purely professional.
      • Twitter: Anyone can follow me. And I follow people who interest me. I share a lot of information via Twitter because I see it as a publishing platform rather than a social network. Feel free to follow me.

      This is what works for me, my comfort level and promotional needs. You may need to be friendlier or more restrictive. The important thing is that you have a strategy.
