  • Texting in the company of others is O.K.
  • Never broadcast your relationship status.
  • Don’t lie with your Facebook photo.
  • Friend your boss and coworkers on Facebook
  • Leave your Wi-Fi open so others can use it.
  • There’s no such thing as too many friends.
  • You can reinvent yourself online.
  • Ignore your ex on Facebook.
  • Don’t hesitate to haggle on Craigslist.
  • Never unfollow someone just because they unfollowed you.
  • Don’t send out a follow-up e-mail apologizing for a typo in a previous e-mail.
