Like all networking and blogging sites on the internet, you may believe typing messages on these sites is unmonitored and you can put on there anything you want as a business or as an employee, but with more people looking to interact in new ways over the internet one wrong sentence or phrase can be potentially damaging to your reputation.

As a business if you use Twitter as a marketing or customer interaction tool then you need to have a trusted person actually updating the information. Conversely you do not want your employees to be spending their working day on these types of sites, when it has nothing to do with their work. With the explosion of sites like Twitter it is a good time to review your IT Policy to check if you cover business and social networking sites and their usage during working hours. One wrong comment on Twitter, Linked In, Facebook etc could cause irreversible damage for a business because the information is instant.
