Tyra Banks on Facebook and Twitter

I don’t know if there’s anything you can learn on the Tyra Banks show about Facebook or Twitter, but nevertheless,  she dedicated an entire show to the social media site and even offered some basic Facebook etiquette rules, including:

1. Do not over-poke people, especially strangers
2. Relationship status changes must be mutual
3. Only tag photos of friend with their permission
4. Do not write inappropriate stuff on your friend’s walls
5. Don’t make friend requests of strangers!

I’m sure you all knew that already, but you’ll be surprised at the number of people who disregard these “rules” especially the relationship status one.  I missed the show, but you can see a clip of it here.

Tyra also dedicated a good portion of the show to Twitter obsession, and invited a married couple to talk about their Twitter problem. In the clip below, Ashley complains about her husband’s need to Twitter everything they do, and he admits to coming close to losing his job because of it. I can see how that can be a bit of a problem. Tyra tries to compares Tony’s addition to Twitter to a narc’s need to use drugs, which doesn’t make much sense, but it was funny to say the least. Check out the video below.
