My Ten Commandments for Twitter
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 10:00 AM
This week’s article on CNN about rocker Courtney Love’s legal woes for slamming a fashion designer on Twitter have me thinking about what laws God might have handed down to Moses had Twitter.com been the pervasive communications tool back then that it is these days. No doubt, rather than having been inscribed upon stone tablets, the Lord’s laws would have been dictated in bite sized bullets of less than 140 characters apiece.
Here’s my stab at Ten Commandments for using Twitter:
1. I am the original Twitter.com. You shall not have other false microblogs before me. Go ahead and experiment with Tweetdeck, HootSuite, and Twitterfeed, but remember who inspired them all.
2. You shall not take the name of Twitter in vain, even when you experience a service outage due to overuse by people hopping online to discuss their take on the latest episode of Glee.
3. Remember the Sabbath day and try to keep Sunday, the Lord’s Day holy by taking a day off from Twitter once per week. Your friends will be online waiting for you when you return online on Monday. If you must tweet about the scores of the NFL games, at least make sure you’ve gone to Mass before you do so.
4. Honor your father and mother by not telling your Twitter friends how “totally uncool” they are.
5. Do not kill others with tweets that are hurtful, untrue or spammy.
6. Do not exchange overly intimate Direct Messages with anyone other than your spouse.
7. Do not steal someone else’s very witty, insightful, or mind-bending tweets without proper attribution – Retweet (RT) them instead!
8. Do not bear false tweets against your neighbor – remember what mom said: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s number of followers.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s new 17 inch 2.8GHz MacBook Pro.
What would you list as your top ten commandments for the safe and sane use of Twitter?

You can earn on Twitter by marketing the products whom you are affiliate with, by advertisements which you can get at “be-a-magpie” or “Twitted”, by helping Twitter users professionally and many other ways. Remember millions of internet users are using Twitter.
