Good practices for sharing computer memes

[Ehsanuls55]

Sharing IT memes can be a great way to connect with your team and liven things up, but timing and context are everything.

Before you hit send, here are some best practices to make sure your meme arrives safely and doesn't result in an awkward silence.

Know your team's culture
Knowing your audience is essential.

What makes you laugh? What would you find objectionable? Do you appreciate a good debugging joke or would you roll your eyes?

Understanding your team's culture can help you avoid those awkward moments when your meme misses the mark.

Take a cue from meme accounts like SportsJokes on Instagram . Their president email list followers are die-hard sports fans who know that their audience loves sports memes (though honestly, who doesn’t?).

Similarly, in the IT world, your IT memes should be tailored to your team's specific humor, whether it's poking fun at the endless hours spent coding or the joys of fixing a network security issue after multiple failed attempts.

Use relevant memes
Not every viral meme is right for your brand. Before you jump on the bandwagon of the latest IT memes, make sure you understand two key things:

Why is it funny?
What is the context?
Using a meme without understanding its humor is like trying to fix a bug without reading the error log: clumsy and probably unsuccessful.

Nobody wants to see a corporate meme that's unfunny or completely out of place.
