- 1. On Twitter, when you only want a message to go to one person (a DM or direct message) double check your messaging options (best to do this with both hands on the keyboard).
- 2. Don’t assume a private DM on Twitter is really that private. After all, it is the Internet.
- 3. Don’t put anything online that could be sliced and diced, misinterpreted or taken out of context.
- 4. Don’t put anything online that you wouldn’t want your grandmother (or your wife!) to see.
- 5. Don’t jeopardize a career that took years to build with one stupid picture or 140 character message.
