Tweet Policy
A Tweet Policy?
I am not expecting every Twitter account to adopt a tweet policy. But I have certain expectations from some Twitter accounts I follow. Particularly if the Twitter account is a commercial business, government agency, public figure or organization.
For example. If I am following my local police department on Twitter. I expect to receive tweets concerning a shooting in my neighborhood. Or that they are organizing a 12 and under flag football league. I may not want to know the chief’s dog took a crap in the lobby. Wouldn’t it be nice to know what to expect?
Craig’s (Cauzway) Tweet Policy
My Tweets
- Will contain information I believe will be of interest to someone.
- May include links to articles on the same subject.
- Will NOT include links to sites or articles unrelated to the subject of the Tweet.
- Will NOT be pornographic in nature nor will they contain links to sites, images, or information that is pornographic in nature.
Followers and Following
- I will block every spammer and account that is pornographic in nature once identified.
- I will follow everyone left that follows me.
Hey- I like the tweet policy and found it because I just posted a cartoon about “tweet policies” in general: http://twitpic.com/f0npa I didn’t put it on the http://www.webdonuts.com site because most people don’t know what a tweet policy is. Keep up the good work Craig.
Nice! I take a lot of that same thought in terms of having a Tweet policy! Though, mine currently is not publically posted… maybe it should!
Definitely important for businesses, though as common-sense as you think it would be for them, it is rarely given a thought!
