Proper Facebook Etiquette

Back to portfolio

This blog will always be a work in progress. It began as a bit of a social and academic experiment when I was away from home and travelling across the globe. I needed something to keep me grounded and focused in my work and to provide a bit of tongue firmly in cheek *wink*

So the properfacebooketiquette spawned from dialogues with friends about the inappropriateness of everything and yet quite desperate needs at times to be close to the people you care about. So the postings on the blog are a mish-mash of friends dilemmas, my own random reflections and readers even make comments now too. I've been surprised with the level of attention of the blog gains. Especially as it was seminal in getting me to the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2010. Some readers love the postings. My student's in seem especially to really enjoy it, and they, perhaps, understand it's particular peculiarities best of all. Others find it too 'fluff' for sense. But then they should not admit to reading it should they...

So I charge you, dear reader, to make up your own mind.
