General Internet Etiquette
The internet is highly known for its numerous features regarding unfiltered assortment of material. For young beginners and the public in general: your best advice to survive is to keep in mind what you post on the internet. Yes the internet is known for featuring personal thoughts, feelings and emotions via its trillion webpages from assorted blog postings, YouTube comments, among other social threads; but all in all, be aware that what you post (from your stance) will be published, retrieved and recorded for the public to see. It is quite impossible, especially in this day of age, to retract postings you regret. Also, be wise with your choices. Always be alert and aware when posting potentially sensitive material (albeit photos, blogging opinions, personal information, among others). Again, the internet is viewed by everybody and anybody. Be prepared to endure the consequences.
 * Jeff's take

Just because this type of communication is Internet based does not give us the right to treat others badly. Hiding behind a screen does not make mean comments any less terrible. The golden rule can be applied here. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
 * Kari's take

We still tend to think of the Internet and the real world as two separate places, but as more and more of our lives take place online, the line gets blurred. Don't forget that what happens online affects what happens offline. What you say and how you say it matter whether you are chatting on Facebook or face-to-face.
 * Kayla's take

Facebook

 * Kristen's take
 * "Status update"
 * If you have great news to share then post in the status. Don't post every 5 seconds about your mood or that you just woke up.


 * Anthony's take:
 * "Indirect status/comments"
 * If you're going to talk about someone indirectly and not expect them to know, you're 100% wrong. If something just happened between you and another person, and you decide to post on Facebook about, "you can't believe you have a backstabbing friend" then they will know it was them. Confront people and don't make yourself look like a fool on facebook. Indirect comments like "I can't believe this happened to me" is just you fishing for attention. In the end, the only people who will comment asking what's wrong are the people who do the exact same thing as you just did. Why is it so hard to say, "I can't believe I just failed my test, or I can't believe that a bird crapped on my window?" Just say what's happened, and if it isn't appropriate then maybe you shouldn't post anything at all!


 * Michelle's take:
 * "Application/Game invites"
 * If you play a game on Facebook, do not send someone a million (or even 10) invites to play the game or give you a "life." It's ok to send one invite because you never know, the person may actually be interested in playing the game. But don't continually fill someone's Facebook and email with spam about an application or game.

Twitter

 * Kristen's take
 * "Hash tagging"
 * Use them when it makes sense and when it is appropriate. Do not hashtag an entire tweet or fill it with random amount of hashtags.
 * Michelle's take
 * "Mass following"
 * Don't mass follow a bunch of people just to get your numbers up because you want people to follow you back so you can tweet about how many people follow you on twitter. Just don't.

YouTube

 * Anthony's take
 * "Comment section"
 * The most undermined and harmful resource in youtube is in fact, the comment section. You could be watching a video of a cute puppy and the comment section will be a battlefield on religion, race equality, or something else. Trolls live and prosper in the comment section, so never take anything to heart. They are only there to make you mad and get you to write hateful things.


 * Kara's Take
 * Uploading Videos
 * Make sure that you are one hundred percent okay with what you are posting. Everyone will have the opportunity to see it - that includes employers. Just make sure that you are ready to face whatever questions or comments come your way because of what you posted.

Tumblr
Kayla's take Don't remove sources or post someone else's work as your own. Don't remove captions if the original poster/owner requests that they stay intact."

Instagram
Keep private things private. Do not over share.
 * Katelyn's take

Never post selfies. Always post a picture with someone who looks worse than you.
 * Chace's take


 * Michelle's take
 * "MCM/WCW"
 * Don't post a picture of your boyfriend/girlfriend every Monday or Wednesday with a long sappy post about how much you love them and how sexy they are. People know you love him/her; they don't want to see it all over Insta every week or even every day!

Do not hashtag 5,000 different things in one picture. It doesn't gain you more followers.. it makes your existing followers consider unfollowing you.
 * Hayley's take

Social Apps for Smartphone Users

 * Adam's Take
 * "Snapchat"
 * Never assume these self-destructing messages will truly disappear when you send them. People can crack their phones and save images and video very easily.
