Social-networking etiquette
A funny and accurate take on social media etiquette by comedian Nick Kroll:
9. When you comment on a current event, please make sure it's accurate, because at this point I get more than half of my news from piecing together the story from people's Twitter jokes about it.
...
17. Don't bother going on first dates anymore. Skip right to the second or third date. Why? Because if I have your full name, I will Google you, Facebook you, check you out on Tumblr, read your tweets, and see what your favorite YouTube videos are. The only thing you can learn about people on a first date is how good they are at pretending like they don't already know everything about you.H/t Fatemeh Fakhraie
