LavaTiger - it ain’t what you think

Yellow card, red card - your out! (Source: Dry Icons).

Today, a designer (@justcreative) I follow on Twitter  received comments on his blog that were not very kind and targeted ‘Australians’ labelling them as ‘S*&! designers‘. Firstly, I thought, how rude and wondered how this challenged our notions of basic ‘nettiquette’ rules. It made me think of an article I stumbled across while Twittering regarding social networks and ‘how to be friendly‘. I thought this article could help a few rather opinionated users out there like the one who targeted Jacob’s blog.

Some basic tips:

Try not to be too personal;

If you are really upset give it a few hours before responding;

Don’t be mindless be constructive;

Lastly, if you have nothing nice to say well don’t say it, let alone leave it as a comment.

Just a few thoughts
