OK, those of you that know me know I consider myself a social sheriff of sorts. So, I took it upon myself to put together some commandments about how to use Twitter. It just felt like a place begging for some guidance.

Thou shalt not twitter about traffic

Thou shalt not twitter about plane delays

Thou shalt not send tweets saying you’re showing someone twitter
http://tinyurl.com/5smqse

Thou shalt not blame the link of Facebook and Twitter as an excuse to violate the commandments
http://tinyurl.com/67dexj

Thou shalt not have more than a 3-tweet reply (@username) conversation
http://tinyurl.com/5wx7lq (pick one)

Thou shalt not make your first tweet in over 90 days an angry tweet
http://tinyurl.com/66djpm

Thou shalt not only use twitter solely to drive traffic to your blog (less than 1 in 10 non-blog related tweets is a good sign you’ve sold out)

Thou shalt not twitter tv and movie spoilers
http://tinyurl.com/5kkzj9

Thou shalt not twitter about a social event not all your followers were invited to (and felt they should have been)
http://tinyurl.com/58s486

Why isn’t accidentally twittering instead of direct messaging on here? Because that’s like telling people a commandment of email is “thou shall not reply all when you don’t want to.” Which I would put on par with yelling “be careful” to someone who just fell down the (social) elevator shaft.
