Social Media Taboo topics

“When you post your opinions publicly in an heated moment on social media, you’re putting your reputation and integrity at risk.”

People don’t like complainers, so next time you rant on any of the social media, remember to maintain online professionalism. Here are top 5 Taboo topics you had to stay away from, particularly in Online Social media discussions:

  • Politics
  • Religion
  • Proprietary Company Information
  • Customer Information
  • Personal Rant

Never be afraid to DELETE: If you have ranted already, never be afraid to delete. Remember, social media is just another new media to show your character – reputation and integrity included.

Whats written on the Internet stays on the Internet. With so many Web crawlers and countless data gathering tools, one has to be careful on what is visible to the public. Already many jobseekers are shocked and are in disbelief to see their past words coming back to haunt them during crucial job interviews. Although we can’t totally disassociate ourselves from the new social media, we can be careful on what’s visible publicly. Here are some tips to protect yourself by denying your social profiles to the search engines.

youku.com Rocks !

Am dumping YouTube, and going with youku.com going forward. I often make my Video shoots in DVD camera and its always a pain when trying to share with loved ones. With YouTube formatted conversion I always end up losing quality of the video (due to file size limit) as well as the slow upload speed. Tried this new Chinese site youku.com yesterday and its lightening fast (my 600 MB video got uploaded in 1 hr 5 min). It has really made the uploading easier with the best HQ format.
Except for the native Chinese language fonts, I have no complaints,with youku.com.

p.s: I do use Google Translate service to get around the native Chinese language format. Learning Chinese doesn’t hurt too 🙂
