10 Things You Shouldn't Tweet

Twitter, the forth most visited website in the world, is a fantastic micro blogging and social networking tool by which to easily transmit a simple message out to the world, and in lightning quick time. Twitter gives ordinary people a chance to be part of the lives of celebrities and, the rich and famous, or anyone we choose to follow and receive their updates.

Like anything popular, there's usually a dark side. Local authorities across a host of countries are reporting sharp increases in litigation proceedings being levelled against social networking bullies and slanderers. Here's a list of 10 things you should never Tweet about so you don't end up in jail!

1/ Don't be a kiss and tell. Don't send out blow-by-blow updates when you're dating someone. Refrain from updating your followers as to how your date is progressing.

2/ Not so long ago, a pregnant woman live-tweeted the birth. Needless to say, the Internet folk wasn't very impressed, or kind!
3/ Don't Tweet pictures or images of your own 'bits' or worse, someone else's!

4/ Going to a wedding? or perhaps you had other plans and were unavailable to attend? either way, a nice congratulations for @Mr.and Mrs. after the vows are exchanged is appropriate, but sending out updates during the wedding is just tacky!

5/ Tweeting your email address and mobile number. If you are compelled to, use your spam email address so you can send your junk to the trash.

6/ Tweeting out of impulse by telling your followers how angry you are and trash-talking the person you're dating, your mum, buddy, boss or pet cat. Before you Tweet in anger, take 20 deep breaths and ponder the repercussions.

7/ Road rage. Telling your followers that the guy in the car ahead of you in the traffic is a complete xxxx-head!! Why? Because he might be one of your followers - oops!

8/ Don't Tweet about anything you'd basically hesitate to say to someone's face and in person. No-one likes a keyboard warrior.

9/ Don't Tweet about work or from a work conference: "OMG I just won the award for most improved salesman, I totally owned the acceptance speech!!!!"...Seriously, no-one gives a crap.

10/ And last but not least, our 10th most despised don't do Twitter moment! -  Tweeting about Twitter!!! "Twitter is so freakn excellent, I'm following Charlie Sheen, Oprah, Angelina Jolie, and I just became Mick Jagger's one millionth follower ;)" PLEASE GET A LIFE!
