Facebook Share Etiquette

January 9, 2010

You log in, you see a video posted by a friend, you play it, you get excited by it, sharing it with your group of friends becomes an absolute must, you think about the protocol to be followed.

Simply re-sharing it and stealing the spotlight from the friend who originally shared it will be rude. So in addition to ‘liking’ it, you also leave a comment (When new to the game, you also tend to wait for a while). With the legal rights now thus bought, you unabashedly share it.

The moment the red notification pops up, you get anxious and tend to it. Good response to that shared, you feel proud as though as you created the video. Lukewarm, you think your friends have a different (and therefore inferior) taste and shrug it off. In case the guy who shared it after you gets more response, you feel downcast.

  6. I really like the idea of sharing videos and all… I did feel guilty of re-sharing videos when I was new to the game but then realized that the one sharing the video never had all my friends in his/her friend’s list, so for the sake of my other friends, I share it. :)
