Eight Secrets of Effective Online Networking

Cut down or manage your bacn: Bacn — e-mail alerts from social-networking sites — is a new form of spam. One way to manage this potential nuisance is to set your preferences to block them entirely, or to switch off e-mail alerts when someone friends you or posts to your profile. Besides, if you visit your profile daily, you might not need to receive the e-mail alerts. If you prefer to manage your profile from your inbox, use a filter or rule to direct them into a folder so you can deal with bacn in batches. If you do want to receive alerts, but not by e-mail, some sites offer the option to receive them as text messages. The point is, have a system.
