*** Note: This post has nothing to do with Italy, other than I’m writing it from Orvieto.
My personal list of the eleven things we should stop doing on social media right now:
1. #instagramming “foot shots” by the pool or at the beach.
Feet are ugly.
2. Posting photos of your medical procedures.
Self-explanatory.
3. Sharing bogus news stories and urban myths.
4. Arguing with trolls.
You’re feeding the beast.
5. Food styling your dinner rather than eating it.
Chefs and food writers excepted.
6. Sending chain letters.
Your friends don’t want them. Trust me.
7. Giving daily updates of your new love affair.
It’s nice that you’re blissfully happy, but when and if the romance ends your heartbreak will be in Facebook’s memory forever.
8. Posting seductive selfies.
Smile normally and drop the fish face.
9. Asking advice about sensitive things on behalf of other people.
“Does anyone know a good gynecologist for my 11-year old daughter? She just got her period.” Um, Noooooooooo!
10. Using Facebook Live.
Unless you’re the host on of a History or Travel Channel show, don’t narrate yourself doing stuff.
11. Writing “what not to do” pieces on your blog.
