What You Need to Know Before You Twitter

Twitter is an online, worldwide community of micro-bloggers. People post brief blurbs of what they want to share with the world.

It is a unique opportunity for many people to be who they really are. You may not be comfortable in an environment with so few restrictions.

What might you see?

1. There will be profanity.

2. There will be statements/pictures you find offensive.

3. There will be “hate-speak.”

4. There will be “too much information.”

5. There will be heart-breaking revelations.

6. There will be breaking news.

7. There will be moments of hope.

8. There will be moments of joy.

9. There will be moments of inspiration.

10. There will be posts that have you ROFLYAO.

Remember, you choose whom you follow or don’t follow or block.

You have a unique opportunity to speak the truth without fear of what your boss will say, what your spouse will say, what your children will say, what your church will say…

Be careful how you use this freedom, this power.

Don’t ever forget that each avatar is a mask for a real person with real feelings and real flaws.
