You're Invited | SMBMSP #69: Why Social Media Etiquette Matters

"Please" and "thank you" have always been important, but manners become ever more critical when online conversation demands a speedy rate of response and makes it difficult to decipher social cues. For some wisdom to call upon when things heat up, SMBMSP invites you to The Accidental Jackass: Why Social Media Etiquette Matters. You'll get some advice for being "nice" and can consider what type of portrait you want your internet history to depict!

Register now for: SMBMSP #69 - The Accidental Jackass: Why Social Media Etiquette Matters Friday, August 22, 2014 from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Even if you set out to be an all-around nice person in social media, things like misinterpreted cues, the rush of real-time communication and overbearing bosses in love with "like bait" content can all contribute etiquette mistakes and missteps. In other words, you may not INTEND to act like a jackass, but sometimes you may come off as one anyway. So how do you avoid making social media etiquette mistakes? And more importantly, do you WANT to avoid making them? (In social media, being nice isn't necessarily the ticket to fame and glory.) In this interactive session, we'll talk about the nuances of nice and Jen will field all of your social media etiquette questions in real time, (kinda like the love child of Miss Manners and Dan Savage.) Pleases and thank yous during the conversation will be rewarded.
