Here are a few things to keep in mind when dealing with people online through Facebook, more so if you're using it professionally.
Remember That There Are Some Things That Meant To Be Private
Redundant as it may sound, this is the primary rule many people forget. You can post 'What's on your mind' on Facebook wall and virtually anything you want to say. However, remember that posting these things may turn out to be a big blunder on your part. Would you really want your customers or clients find out that you puke at last night's wild party? Or is that catty statement that was supposed to be an inside joke between friends worth the misinterpretation by others? Remember, the Internet is forever. Personal or professional contacts may stumble on these in the future. If you openly let others know about private things in your life, imagine the stress and even discredit that you could earn.
