2. Google+: We Didn’t Ask To Be
Notified
– This has become more common but should be avoided.
Sending unwanted notifications to your circles about
every post you share. This is considered highly
annoying to many.
– For me this is very intrusive. You may have shared some
information that I found interesting enough to Circle
you but not to the point where I want to know every last
thing you post.
– Google+ doesn’t have a subscribe button. Your post
shouldn’t be forced on your Circles. In other words you
are spamming and producing a quick way to get you
uncircled.

4. Facebook: When Was I There?
– This as harmless as it may seem, can also be considered
spam. Don’t tag a ton of your friends about your new
product, website, event etc.
– The tag was meant for including a friend that was
directly involved with you. Not as a way to blast your
latest into others notifications. Unless both of you are at
the same place eating, in the same picture and so on.
– This is another quick way to loose engagement. If you
are not deleted, your Friends will develop blinders and
completely overlook your post.

6. Twitter: I Didn’t Need To See That
– This is one that I get pretty often. When you Reply on Twitter, only
mention the person who included you on the #FF tweet for
example.
– This reminds me of some email etiquette training I had several
years ago. If you ever had an email blast about getting lunch and
for 10 minutes your email is going off with people giving their
orders, asking questions etc you know what I mean.
– To me this is a harmless thing that can become annoying. If you are
included in 3 #FF shoutouts, with 6 people on each. If most of them
sends a reply to everyone mentioned in the tweet. That could be
10+ notifications that have nothing to do with you. Majority of the
time you will see a bunch of thank yous to the originator of the
Tweet.

8. LinkedIn: Thank You Anyways… I
Think
– Linkedin is about being professional isn’t it? Yet, these
“professionals” found a way to make a great feature a little
annoying.
– Just because they are telling you to leave a recommendation for
someone, you don’t have to leave one. Endorsing someone who you
have no relationship with or have never done any business with
them, could have a negative effect on your brand.
– Recommending someone you have actually done business with will
be much more remembered and appreciated. You may even get a
recommendation in return. Recommending someone on a skill
should be genuine and used as a way to show your appreciation to
the person you have worked with. Not to be used as some type of
promotion tactic.
