How to avoid accidental social media disasters
Do you have an active social media life? If the answer is a ‘Yes’ you need to be reading this post.
Post the ‘Weinergate’ incident, when an accidental tweet with an obscene photo that should have been made via direct message to an on-line girlfriend went public on Rep. Weiner’s timeline forcing his resignation, it is time to list out ways to avoid such social media disasters.
Armed with Android smartphones and numerous social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter is by itself a challenging situation. So you have your personal Twitter and Facebook account, and your companies’/clients’ both on a computer and sometimes even on your smartphone. Juggling these daily is daunting to say the least.

Anthony Weiner Lewd photo – Twitter stardom gone sour
Rep. Anthony Weiner was only a few days ago a Twitter celebrity with a large following and also listed in Time Magazine’s top 140 Tweeps to follow. Politicians who do well on Twitter are rare and Weiner sure had his moments, he’s funny and is not afraid to speak his mind.
Anthony Weiner is of course now embroiled in a controversy. His twitter account sent a lewd photo to a Seattle college student. He then screamed ‘his twitter was hacked’, and later said he cannot be sure if the picture was actually his. Democrats, Weiner’s party backers, have distanced themselves from him and comedians are having a field day punning his name.
“I can’t say with certitude,” … “My system was hacked. Pictures can be manipulated.”

If US Sites Ignore The UK Law, Ban The Sites
Most people who comment as bogus or anonymous users don’t think they’ll ever be caught out or held responsible for their comments. Louis Bacon, an American billionaire hedge fund manager has received the go-ahead from a London high court to force three websites to disclose the identities of his alleged defamers, the Guardian reports.
How PR is out and Reputation Management is in
