Sick of Social Networks? Here's Your Salvation

Sometimes keeping on top of every major social network can feel like a full-time job. But let's face it — it's not easy to tear yourself away from the social web, even if you truly want to.

In this comic, Krishna Sadasivam of PC Weenies shows us that even the anti-social networking folks aren't ready to really quit the Internet.

   2. DON'T fight on Facebook.

   That's just awkward for everyone.

3. 

   3. DO RSVP promptly to event invites.

   Sure, we're all guilty of neglecting the event invites section of Facebook. But when no one RSVPs to your birthday party, and you're sweating over the unconfirmed number, don't say we didn't warn you.

4. 

   4. DON'T post vulgar status updates from your friends' accounts.

   An obvious and amateur move. Besides, if he were really that enthusiastic about it, he would've "liked" said vulgarity's Facebook Page.

   6. DON'T like or comment your friend's picture from 2009.

   Especially if the photo is embarrassing. Every time someone's photo gets new activity, it will reappear in your friends' News Feeds. Leave the past behind!

   8. DON'T be nosy when someone's relationship status changes from "In a Relationship" to "Single."

   The "you deserve better" or "screw that guy!" message is a private part of the healing process. If that person wants you to know the messy details, he'll tell you offline.

   9. DO post photos in a timely manner.

   No one wants to be that girl who comes off narcissistic because you took a really good picture of her at brunch last weekend. Just upload the photo -- she needs new profile pic!

    10. DON'T Poke people you don't know very well.

    Or people you do know. Just don't do it. Seriously, stop poking people -- it's creepy.
