So you’re a zombie now. That weird flu got you. But you’re still a social networking enthusiast and don’t want to lose your edge just because you lost your life.

With the help of my Twitter bud, I’ve assembled a list of useful social networking tips for zombies. It’s still a work in progress, and I’m not sure you’ll be able to read them anyway. Some zombie expert might be able to translate for you, but grrr and rargh might not have enough variations to convey all of the nuances.

Oh well. Worst case you can eat their brains. So here they are, zombie social networking tips straight from Twitter.

  • Don’t limit your circle of friends to just those that are like you. (via @versadave)
  • Even fat kids add value to a team. (via @camp185)
  • Resist the urge to eat their brains on the first meeting. (via @JenWojcik)
  • Don’t lose your head. (via @swbuehler)
  • If someone follows you that types in correct grammar…BLOCK!!!!! (via @onedadslife)
  • It’s not polite to stare when a zombies rotting body part falls off. (via @jeremya)
  • Don’t post a profile pic. (via @h3nryd00d)
  • Engage intellectuals their braaaaains are better. (via @h3nryd00d)
  • Don’t use the words brain, blood, sucking or eating in your blog or presentations. (via @boobtubious)
  • Wear cologne/ body spray. Rotting flesh smells icky. (via @JenWojcik)
  • If your mom is on facebook bring air freshener. (via @h3nryd00d)
  • Quit dragging your leg in YouTube videos. (via @h3nryd00d)

Thanks for your participation and brain stretching. The zombies will appreciate the added nodes in there.

This post was an exercise is getting folks to think outside the norm. Too many times we don’t feed our creativity. We see things the way we always have. Social networking and media is suffering the same problem. Folks get into ruts, severe ruts. They end up sharing the same old stuff. The same ideas make the rounds, in circles. The disruptions get less and less.

Today, infuse some disruption into your life stream online.

How will you disrupt today?
