Social media is like any other big social event: It's easy to say the wrong thing

Under the category of, “Glad I’m not that guy,” a Washington Post reporter published some erroneous info on Twitter, according to this story from SearchBlog (click here to see the posting).

Implications: This reporter tried, fast as he might, to “de-tweet.” Alas, in the world of social media, there is no way to put the toothpaste back in the proverbial Twitter tube.
Before you hit the Tweet, Send, or Publish button… ask one more question: Is there anything in this posting I might regret?


Also, make sure you’re set-up to monitor the social media landscape for any references to your company or brand name. (Your search starts here for Twitter (click to link), and you can tell Google to help you scan the blogosphere using Google Alerts (by clicking here.)
