The social web can be a dangerous place. Why? Because as soon as one feels comfortable within their own social networking space - to share whatever they are thinking with their "friends," as soon as they think it - it easily becomes a place where one can ruin their own reputation.
I don't quite understand what @theconnor (the potential Cisco employee) and @CV31 (the Milwaukee Bucks' forward Charlie Villanueva) were thinking when they posted not-so-thought-through tweets to their Twitter accounts.
Although @theconnor was a much worse offender than @CV31 - they both should have considered who could be listening and the possible repercussions of their statements BEFORE they posted these messages to their public Twitter accounts:
@theconners: "Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.”
@CV31: "In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up."
Come on people!?!?!?! Twitter is a great place to talk about what you are thinking and what you are doing, but when your thoughts are really inappropriate and/or when you are currently working on something that requires a lot focus and concentration... please try to hold back from posting real-time updates to Twitter.
K, THX, BAI.
