remarkable communication: The Ten Commandments of New Social Media
I highly suggest you take a look at this recent post over at Remarkable Communication. He outlines ten very useful commandments for participating in social media.
His commandments:
- Participate in the coversation
- Do Not Lie
- Do Not Astroturf
- Talk like a human being
- Remember the community
- Don’t be a wimp
- Do not Snivel
- Write what is worth reading
- Don’t talk about what you don’t know
- Have a sense of humor
Wow, that’s quite a list and I tend to agree with each and every one of them. In fact, it reads almost like the text from Principals of American Journalism back in my early years at the Journalism School.
Those commandments of social media sound just like what it takes to be an honest, fair, and tought Journalist (just like in Jschool, that’s Journalist with a big J to support Big J journalism. Does that make sense to anyone who hasn’t gone to Journalism School?).
The only thing I might question would be astroturfing, not that I support it, it’s a ridiculous practice, but do people still participate a lot?
