What you say can and will come back to haunt you



Yesterday I cautioned against publishing everything - the good, the bad and the ugly on social media sites. Everything you broadcast (publish) is viewed and shared with the world. It is also a reflection of your character and in some cases, can reflect your employer.

Thanks to a few readers, they have pointed me to similar updates and examples from a few other sources.

Lamebook is a site which gathers and publishes Facebook status updates that are, well, distasteful. Thanks to Lamebook for the picture you see above.

I also found Guyism which published a list of the 7 things you should never say through social media.

Face it, we all like to go out and have a good time, meet new friends and chat about our lives. Now with social media, there are a lot more people watching, reading, responding and reacting to your every word.

Thanks to Jon and Radana for their input.
