#Master the Delicate Art of Social Media Etiquette
| January 13, 2012
1. Have a real picture of yourself as a profile pic. I need to know what you look like. It’s only fair. If your Facebook photo includes a picture of your significant other, I know that you are seriously codependent. If it is a picture of your baby, I know I’ll have very little to say to you at a dinner party. Also, offer me a few options. If all of your pictures are from the same angle, I know that you are ugly and have figured out that one angle that makes you look less ugly.
2. Don’t give me constant updates of where you are eating or shopping. The only person who cares about that is your stalker, and the real joy for him is the hunt.
3. If I send you a text and you don’t respond and then I see you tweet something or post something on Facebook, I know that you are straight up ignoring me. Just remember that everyone on the Internet is taking note of your goings-on and judging you all the time. Isn’t that comforting?

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Northern California on behalf of an Arizona man, gives the example of someone who is willing to pay up to $100 for an item. But even though eBay’s automated system knows this maximum, it only incrementally increases the buyer’s base bid to the level at which it beats other existing bids. So if, because of this system, the buyer only pays $95 for the item, the plaintiff believes “the seller is shortchanged $5.00 solely as a result of intermeddling by the purportedly neutral auctioneer.”
