My good friend Niri wrote a blog post yesterday entitled “7 Ways to Annoy Your Friends in Social Media” that perfectly captured the basics of blogging and social media etiquette.  Articles like this one are not only a fabulous resource for newbie bloggers who are green to social media manners, but provide a reminder to veteran bloggers who should know better.  If I could add anything to Niri’s fabulous list, it would be to help other bloggers, but stop policing.

Product reviewers.  Giveaways.  Apparently, it is a HUGE deal.
