Never delete the link to where it was reblogged from - that's considered very rude, and people on Tumblr get very annoyed by this.

When reblogging someone on Tumblr:

If you are over the age of 17, you get one selfie every other week. That's it. Under 17, you're still subject to Teen Rules, which basically means you're insufferable to the rest of the internet world and therefore exempt. Go nuts, teens. But if you're an adult, you get 2 a month. 

How many selfies per month are acceptable on Instagram?

You don't want to have to deal with the 8 months of their wedding planning and wedding photos. Do yourself a big favor and save your own sanity. You can remove all future updates from that person without actually unfriending.

Do nothing but hide all activity

Your ex announces his or her engagement on Facebook. You:

Ok, maybe MAYBE if it's super duper urgent, but really in that case you should just walk into your boss's office and use your mouth-speaking-hole. There's a weird power dynamic with the "Important" flag in Outlook that you cannot mess with.

Only to coworkers but never your boss

When is it appropriate to flag an email as "Important" or "Urgent" when sending?

What's creepier than a Facebook Poke? Nothing! Your buddies will be weirded out and vaguely amused. Poking your crush will definitely come off as crazed and stalker-ish. 

Ironically with your friends!

When is it appropriate to "Poke" someone on Facebook?

Ugh! That's the worst. If you want to invite someone to your event or have them notice someone, just use the normal channels. Don't be annoying.

Tagging someone in a flyer or promotion

When is it NOT ok to tag someone in a Facebook post?

No, never

Is it ok to RT notifications from Favstar bots?

This one is a real doozy. We're used to being petrified of the accidentally reply-all, but doing the opposite can be just as weird. Any of these methods work. Namaste.

Any of the above

You accidentally hit "reply" instead of "reply all"...

Otherwise it's weird! And don't chat for work stuff (except with people who work IN your office)

Only surprise gchat your good pals 

Is it acceptable to Gchat people you've never Gchatted before without warning them you're going to chat?

Give 'em some time, and if you have to nudge again, nudge gently. Gentle nudges.

Next business day, end of day

How long should you wait to hear back on a non-urgent email (personal or work related) before emailing them again?

This might be controversial, but I think it's reasonable that in some cases, you should feel free to meet up with your friend. It's gotta be case by case. Don't be a creep.

Yes, but text first

Can you show up to a place where you saw your friend check in on Foursquare?

No one wants to see you tweet about your customer service problems. If you can't get help any other way, you may tweet directly to the company, but only in a polite way. 

Call their customer service phone number first, and then, and ONLY THEN may you tweet directly to them

You're having customer service issues with an airline. You:

She's the only one who could possibly be sending you this, so give her a call.

Call your mom

How do you respond to an e-Card?

Pop that popcorn and watch his buddies go nuts arguing with him. This Facebook's best free entertainment.

Read his posts, but don't engage

What do you do about that one friend who's always arguing about religion or politics on Facebook?

Sorry. You can't unfollow people you know in real life just because they're annoying. You CAN unfollow if their account is inactive and you're trying to prune off some dead accounts.

Only if their account is inactive

Can you unfollow people you know in real life on Twitter?

For some reason, the imperative to reply promptly to all Snapchats is an undisputed rule of the internet. I know, it's a little annoying, but the Teens have spoken. This is the rule for this service.

Do you need to reply to every Snapchat?

You're fairly polite

Good god! Your manners are terrible! Try being nice a little. And remember: the internet is just like real life (ew) sometimes you have to put up with annoying people.

You're TERRIBLE

Congrats! You're a good citizen of the Internet. You probably spend way too much time on here and your real life manners may suffer, but at least you act cool on Facebook.

You're netiquette is great!
