In particular I'd add that its not okay to capitalize single words in the middle of sentences, as it reads like the writer is screaming just that one word.

I try to err on the side of caution and ask permission the first time I want to mention a professional contact's name in a FourSquare/Twitter checkin. If it's not confidential the first time, I generally assume they don't mind the second time, though I always use common sense.<br><br>Also, you can get the benefit of informing your network what you're talking about and thinking about without mentioning the names of specific companies or individuals.

I'll say it again.) The intro out of nowhere - please ask me if I want to be introduced. Good ones, Darren.

A few more?<br><br>* I can't tell you how many times I've asked someone to make an intro for me and they've instead given me the other person's email address. It's incredible. Just because it's easy to send email doesn't make it socially acceptable for a stranger to send that email, and prefacing it with "So and so gave me your address" doesn't make it any better. It makes it awkward for the two people you'd otherwise be helping.<br><br>* Just because you have a photo of someone on facebook doesn't mean you should tag them in it. Why not drop them a note saying that they've uploaded some pics, you're in some, and you should tag yourself if you want? Even seemingly innocent pictures can be annoying. Great post. A few more?
