Think before you post
We all have heard "silence is golden" but certainly not when you are talking about social media. Here is an area where we want constant chatter and feedback.But I'd like to go against the tide and say that maybe we should reconsider this point.

While you might be my friend it's not really imperative that I know what you're having for breakfast.

The Complications of the Facebook Relationship
Relationships were never easy. Facebook made them ridiculously harder.Back in 2004, before Facebook had news feeds and was for college kids only, my friend had a Facebook stalker. When she ended her relationship, she changed her Facebook status from "In a relationship" to "single." Within an hour, she had received two calls and a texts from that stalker asking her out, while condolences poured in slowly over the next week.
