The eBranding Me team is proud to publish an original series: PBYP – Pause Before You Post. Every Monday morning our post features 5 “Social Media Over-Shares”. We have all made the mistake of pressing Post too soon and publishing content that was inappropriate or not complete. While these mistakes happen, a simple mouse-click can make a remarkable dent in one’s personal brand.
You can find all of the posts, organized for your convenience, here. Subscribe via email and/or RSS.

The eBranding Me team is pleased to see that society has begun to recognize the importance of social media education. From MTV’s introduction of “A Thin Line” campaign against digital abuse to the “It Gets Better Project” for LGBT rights, the entertainment industry and mass media are helping children act in a more socially responsible manner online.
If the PBYP series can cause a millisecond of hesitation before posting a comment, image or video online, then the eBranding Me team has contributed to the betterment of Generation Y students. Social networks are meant to enhance the social experience. Making sure that their members behave in a respectful manner, comparable to a real-life networking event, will allow for all participants to enjoy the unique services even more.
Enjoy the following clip from Saturday Night Live on the growth of social networking sites before reading this week’s five “Social Media Over-Shares”.
