Who’s guilty of posting photos on Facebook without first informing the people in the photos beforehand?
Not me! Everyone it seems, at one time or another. Is it necessary to tell people each and every time you post? What do you do when you see a tagged photo of yourself that you don’t approve of? What is the correct etiquette or is there one?
Recently I posted a photo of a friend and myself. Turns out the friend didn’t like the photo and asked me to remove it. While we don’t look like supermodels I thought it was pretty decent. I know how she feels. Anyone can post my photo as long as I’m not making a weird face, no food is stuck in my teeth, my hair looks okay, I’m not wearing a bathing suit unless I’m on the cover of Sports Illustrated (what are the chances?) and I think I look good. There are not too many I’m crazy about. Get the picture? So peopleshould be sensitive to that. However if the photo is relatively okay do we need make a fuss? Sometimes we’re captured in a group setting and one of the people decides to post all of us together – chances are at least one person will not like themselves. What then? Just wondering.
Are we all too vain or should there be a standard procedure? Any thoughts?

Be cautious when sharing and think how it will be perceived by all the others who may see it. Although sharing is a great way to better relationships it can also damage them.
According to a new study, sharing photographs on Facebook is a quick way to lose friends, according to a new study.
Researchers found those who repeatedly post pictures risk alienating themselves from many people who view them.
They may damage relationships with friends, relatives and colleagues who do not relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves.
A survey of more than 500 Facebook users found the quantity and subject matter of the images have an impact on the level of support and intimacy within relationships.
Dr. David Houghton, of the University of Birmingham, said: “Our research found those who frequently post photographs on Facebook risk damaging real life relationships. This is because people, other than very close friends, and relatives, do not seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves.”
“It is worth remembering the information we post to our “friends” on Facebook, actually gets viewed by lots of different categories of people, partners, friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances and each group seems to take a different view of the information shared.”
The report said partners sharing more photographs of family is positively related to support, whereas those sharing more photographs of friends is related negatively to intimacy.
The researchers also suggest big brand advertising campaigns, which encourage people to post photographs of themselves with the product on Facebook, risk damaging the relationships between their ‘fans’.
The report said: ‘While benefiting brand awareness and critical mass of a Facebook fan page for a brand, organization or cause, sharing photographs may be harmful to those asked to participate.’
‘My advice for people sharing photos or links with a fan site is think twice and share once,’ said co-author Dr. Ben Marder, of the University of Edinburgh.
