#4: When Your Avatar Isn’t Yours: Top 10 Etiquette Tips for 2012

Have you ever gotten a request from someone on a social networking site and you thought maybe you might want to accept the request but, the picture is of some random thing that doesn’t remotely represent who the person is?

It’s true that if you have children, they probably have some adorable pictures and it’s equally true that your favorite flower probably photographs well, but how is setting those things as your profile picture going to let your potential contacts know that it’s YOU that is requesting them.

Scarlet Says…set your profile picture so that contacts that you request know who you are and don’t have to investigate your background before deciding to accept.

Until next time…
