The 10 Commandments of Facebook

"The rise of social media has made it easier than ever to keep in touch with friends, relatives and coworkers. With a few keystrokes you can reconnect with an old high school buddy, learn what your coworker's favorite band is, or play Scrabble with a friend who lives on the other side of the globe.

But while increased connectivity is an undeniably good thing, you can just as easily use it to annoy the living hell out of everyone you know. This is the internet, after all, and if something on the internet can be used in an annoying way, you can safely assume that 99% of the population will proceed to do so (go try reading a comment on YouTube if you don't believe me).

People need rules to tell them how to act. Luckily I went to the top of Mount Internet last night, and God handed me down these 10 Commandments of Facebook for all to obey. Follow them or you'll go to hell."

5 Reasons Why Anticonformity Is Worse Than Conformity

"Some people are so desperate to be nonconformists that they devote a great deal of their time to doing exactly the opposite of whatever "the masses" are doing. This form of "nonconformity" is more like what I would call "anticonformity," because you're not really doing your own thing, you're just doing the opposite of someone else's thing. Not only is it at least as stupid as being a conformist sheep or whatever, it's actually worse in a lot of ways."
