You've finally found your way on to Facebook and maybe even LinkedIn too, but in your rush to have as many connections as possible, please bear these 3 really, really simple rules in mind:
1. Just because we once worked together, doesn't mean we are friends. Now we might have actually had a chat in the cafeteria, or I might have even told you they were nice shoes, but honestly that doesn't make us buddies, so don't try to befriend me on Facebook. I don't want to see pictures of your cats, bicycles or get asked to buy you a pig for your farm.
2. We might have spent the night shooting tequila in a bar in Kathmandu and in a moment of weakness I might have befriended you on Facebook, but please don't try and become a connection on LinkedIn. I don't even know what an "Oyster Floater" does, nor could I comment on your abilities in said profession.
3. If we had a business relationship AND by some fantastic coincidence we spent a fair amount of our free time, socializing together. Then yes you may tick both boxes and collect $200.
If you're still having problems with the rules please ask for assistance.
