The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t

There's only so much television you canwatch, so that's why I like to hop on Twitter. I especially like to do thiswhen I'm really angry about something. But I've discovered I get a big backlashwhen I do this. I've blamed the Mad Twitter Hacker, but the problem is no onebelieves there is a Mad Twitter Hacker and they still get mad at me. I don'tget it -- nobody is really reading Twitter anyway, right? Any professional athlete, any city  Dear Any Athlete, Ah yes, it may come as a bigsurprise to you, but people actually do read tweets. And (brace yourself) theyalso read what you post on Facebook, Linked In, your blog, etc. I know it can sometimes feel likeyou're just typing away and no one is paying any attention, but that just isn'ttrue. People ARE reading, even if they don't always comment. And let's notforget what you put out there in the Internet Universe tends to stay out there. Ms. Social Networking Manners alsosuggests that when you're angry, you may want to count to ten BEFORE you tweetor post on Facebook. That little tidbit works nicely regardless if you'reface-to-face with someone or over social networking. And it's just goodmanners.  Dear Ms. Social Networking Manners, I'm a politician who recently gotcaught sending naughty pictures of myself through the Twitter Direct Message.Apparently the Direct Message wasn't private, it showed up on the publicstream. I blamed the Mad Twitter Hacker, but I still ended up resigning becauseno one believed me. I don't get it, Twitter DMs are supposed to be private.Should I sue Twitter for ruining my career? A.W. New York  Dear Mr. W, I realize it's a sad state ofaffairs when you can't trust that Twitter DMs remain private but unfortunatelyyou get what you pay for. And what exactly have you paid for Twitter?  I rest my case. It's always wise to keep in mindwhen you're using social networking platforms, you are playing in someoneelse's sandbox. Which means their rules apply. And since your financialinvestment in these social networking platforms is roughly zero, you really don’thave much of a leg to stand on when things go awry. And, it bears repeating that nothingon those social networking platforms should be considered private. Even directmessages or direct emails. If it's not something you would mind your mother,your children, your boss, your clients, etc. seeing, you probably shouldn't bestating it on any of those platforms. Dear Ms. Social Networking Manners, I work for a professional sportsteam and I was very upset about a trade they made. So I went on my Facebookaccount and posted that my sports team sucked. The next day I was fired. Thatwasn't fair, was it? Unemployed and unhappy sports fan,Pennsylvania   Dear Unemployed, Alas, my mailbag is full of storieslike yours. From the "Fatty Cisco Paycheck" debacle to the consultantwho dissed the headquarters of his client's hometown, there seems to be no endto people who post seemingly innocuous Tweets and Facebook updates only to befired or forced to resign.  As stated above, if you're notcomfortable with the world reading whatever you posted, then you probablyshouldn't post it. And if you ARE caught, then all you need to do is blame theMad Twitter Hacker.  Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}Michele PW (Michele Pariza Wacek) is your Ka-Ching!Marketing strategist and owns Creative Concepts and Copywriting LLC, a premieredirect response copywriting and marketing company that helps entrepreneursattract more clients, sell more products and services and boost theirbusiness.  To grab your FREE"Ka-Ching!
