I recently did something which may be considered a faux pas among social media users.
The “People You May Know” section on Facebook had gotten on my last nerve. I have designed a very specific Facebook experience for myself. I don’t like reminders or requests. I check messages and handle any action items which create notifications quickly, just so I do not see the notification. (I do realize this is odd!)
With snowflakes almost starting to fly, now might be a good time to provide a helpful tip for one way to avoid walking in the elements.
