Invading Virtual Personal Space on Facebook
Facebook is a social networking website where you meet old friends, make new friends, play games, and engage in meaningful conversations. Facebook is also a great place to locate old classmates, co-workers (past and present) and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends.
Imagine Facebook as a virtual coffee shop – like Starbucks where everyone there has something in common with one another. People ‘meetup’ on Facebook to exchange business ideas and practices, announce events, join groups and talk about hot topics. When you join a group, you will make new friends, especially if a friend of yours already belongs to that group. You are accepted by online inheritance. Its easy to spend hours upon hours on Facebook without realizing how long you’ve been online.
You can easily communicate with friends in another city, state or part of the world and feel as if you are right there with them! Facebook helps to bridge geographical gaps between people.
When you communicate on Facebook, keep in mind that the audience is receptive, yet sensitive to their ‘Virtual Personal Space’ (VPS). Virtual Personal Space is that imaginary-online experience that is very real and resembles the real life ’3-feet rule.’ Don’t invade the VPS, or you will lose friends.
You can violate the VPS by posting offensive updates to some people. Some people don’t like to be inundated with party invites. They will delete you quickly, many times they will warn you first. A Facebook friend of mine deleted me because once I sent her an update, and others started commenting on the update, the Facebook friend was unaware that the Facebook messaging system automatically sends all successive comments to all who were initially tagged or who had commented on the message prior. The friend deleted me and that was that. Sometimes people just don’t need to be friends.
Tagging people is also an issue of VPS violation. Some overzealous party promoters will tag you in photos promoting their parties, and you are not even in the photo. It happens all the time, as this is looked at as a form of spam by some. To remove the ‘tag’ simply follow the link in the photo, find your name and locate the words “remove tag.”
Once you remove your name, you will no longer be on this spam type of email blast.
Right now, I’m participating in a conversation with a couple of ladies who are super creative. One of them is a painter, and her work is phenomenal. I enjoy speaking with people who lead exciting lives. Facebook helps me meet them.
Well, gotta run, we’re chatting about the World Series now, and my Yankees are looking real good.
