A bill of rights for social media

Over at the Blue Skunk blog they have set up a bill of rights for members of personal networks.

1. I have the right not to be social 24/7 - either online or in person.

2. I have the right to time for reflection and responsibility for doing so.

3. I have the right to use only the tools that suit my learning style.

4. I have the right to stop using a tool when it is no longer useful.

5. I have the right to not be on the cutting edge all the time or feel I need to always know all there is to know.

6. I have the right to choose those with whom I learn in my personal learning network and responsibility to learn from those with whom I don't always agree.

7. I have the right and responsibility to disagree and the responsibility to do it professionally.

8. I have the responsibility to become familiar with a tool before sharing it with others.

9. I have the responsibility to share my knowledge with others in my network.

10. I have the right and responsibility to not let online activities keep me from my friends, my family, my workplace, or my community.
