The "Rules" for Women Who Engage in Social Media

Lipsticking guest blogger, Lena West, Chief of Social Media Strategy at xynoMedia recently posted "Rules" of Social Media Engagement for Women. They are:

1. You're not one of the guys nor will you ever be.
2. Use emoticons and exclamation points sparingly.
3. IM'ing at night, is IM'ing at night.
4. Keep your beau to yourself.
5. The women are watching.

For an in-depth explanation of her rules, please visit Lipsticking. http://www.lipsticking.com/2009/04/rules-of-social-media-engagement-for-women.html

Curious to know your thoughts about these. Is she on point or just plain wrong? Would you add or take anything away?
