5 things I learned 

1. Psychological effects of a poorly worded tweet should serve as a reminder to everyone who works with words for a living – words in this modern era have the power of sticks and stones. And they will hurt you.
2. Think about your audience. Ask yourself whether you’d want your boss, your co-workers, even your Mom to read that tweet. And, if you’re in doubt, come ask.
3. It’s only after the tweet has gone live and people start to comment that things get real. The reaction can happen immediately or it might take a day or two. But once someone has captured a screenshot of the offending tweet, your goose – for all intents and purposes – is well and truly cooked.
4. Social media platforms are powerful beyond what their users initially imagined. It can change people’s lives – and that’s no joke.
5. If you call yourself a professional writer, you must take responsibility for every word that you write. There are no exceptions. Twitter, like everything else, will follow you to your virtual grave. And don’t write anything you wouldn’t want your mother, your editor or your potential audience to read.
