When I want to add a new contact in my network, I have to send a request. This looks quite logical.
There is a default text generated by the software saying something like: Hi, its frank, I want to add you to my network, Bye.
I nearly cannot remember anybody who didn’t send me this message as an invitation. Isn’t it a little bit sad?
Let’s imagine any other situation in real life and use the same kind of introduction: You meet a girl in the street and say: Hey, I am Frank, I want to add you to my list of girl friend. Bye…
Is it rough?
or try online dating: it would be: Hello (Hey is too strong), I am Casanova, I want to add you to my list of conquests. Accept my request…
No, No, NO!!!
Adding contacts doesn’t have to be done this way. You can send a real introduction, write a real message with your little fingers. This will not damage your keyboard or cost you higher connection cost to internet.
This has a name: courtoisie.
Online as offline: their is minimum rules. We should not forget that in the term Social network, there is the word SOCIAL. so let’s act as such, so that we do not transform this nice technology in Asocial network…
