Social Networking and when not to Twitter

Like many people, I find that twitter is both amusing and (slightly) addictive. I do not intend to introduce Health and Safety as a reason for not Tweeting, but we should all consider the application of common-sense. There have been some lawsuits recently over the  inappropriate use of social media by some people.  It seems that the use of social networking is in need of some for moderation as one of the Tweets (better than twits) that I came across declared a time when one should not do it: http://bit.ly/KEdvW

I, for one, would rather that the control was exerted by the users, rather than imposed on us by some form of ineffective legislation. A few examples of other times it is (or may be) inadvisable to Tweet (send a Twitter message) are:  

• During an appraisal or annual review
• When climbing a ladder (probably not long before this features in risk assessments and method statements)
• When driving (I'm sure people do it!)
• After a row
• After drinking (too much)
• When you don't want to look like a geek In the swimming pool
• In the bath (sadly) http://www.austriantimes.at/index.php?id=14023
• and many more ...

All that said - twitter is still fun, if used properly.
