twitter ethics 101

TWITTER ETHICS 101

by hardwyrd

humanize your profile

( use an avatar )

self-promotion is ok

(but don't over-do it)

promoting your company is ok

( but don't do hard sell )

no begging for a RT (re-tweet)

(often overlooked)

don't request for link clicks

it's absurd to see only blog RSS in your

tweets

don't post private info in main stream

(that's what DM is for!)

nobody want's to know what you're

doing every minute

don't follow someone if his/her content

doesn't interest you

don't ask people to follow you

follow-backs are not mandatory

(don't fret if others don't reciprocate)

real-world courtesies and etiquette apply to

Twitter

don't attack, defame, or harass a person

(obviously!)

do you wanna be a subject of twossip?

YES, EXACTLY. SO, DON'T.

(but there's DM ^_^)

Be yourself.

Should I exploit Twitter as a money-

making venture?

(Nobody says you can't.)

don't make unsolicited @mentions just

to promote your thing

Mix and mash up your tweets

Don't let other people tell you how to use

Twitter.

(that includes this presentation ^_^ .)

If I'm not following you yet, should I ?
