 Things One Needs to be Very Cautious about

Looking at the immense potential and possibilities of one's association with any social networking site which might be an excellent platform to share one's thoughts,ideas and things of common interests . It is very important to remember that such interaction takes place mainly through words and selection of appropriate language creates a favorable impression on the prospective friends and associates. It is inadvisable to attempt to create a larger than life image as a new entrant by using high-flown words and bombastic sentences. If the goal is to strike the right chord in the like-minded persons or persons who are on the same wavelength, it makes enough common sense to make a low profile entry and be patient.

Under no circumstances the politeness and courtesy should be sacrificed even in the face of grave provocation as other members are following you every minute in minute detail. You act smart by leaving your ego back home.

It would be grossly unwise to approach or rather force any fellow member to go through any blog which you may be running at the very outset. Once you are through with any relation such overtures can be made that too in a language couched in diplomacy and tact.

Never stay aloof in any social networking site. A site may not be full of all like-minded people and most of the topics which are mostly discussed, may not be your liking but pragmatism demands that you contribute in whatever capacity to some of them to make the most of your association with any social networking site.
