Don’t use Facebook as a verb  

Well, this is interesting. Facebook doesn’t want people using their brand as a verb such as “I Facebooked her,” according to their brand guidelines;

“Do not use Facebook, or any other of our trademarks, as a verb. And don’t pluralise them either. Trademarks may not be modified in that manner.”

Also, you know those screenshots you see online of Facebook with the users’ identities obscured? Facebook says you should be getting their permission to share the screenshot, and then not obscuring it, or you probably shouldn’t be sharing it at all.

“Screenshots must be unaltered, meaning they cannot be annotated or modified in any way from their appearance on Facebook.

Screenshots with personally identifiable information (including photos, names, etc of actual users) require written consent from the individual(s) before they can be published.

Screenshots of any Facebook profile will need written consent from its creator before use.”

Even better? They want you to fill in this form if you take a screenshot in the media. Hmmm. Does anyone actually use that, and do they enforce it? It seems like they don’t, yet.

Also, this one is a gem:

“Never combine your name with our name.”
