I would like to ask readers if they are using the social media sites properly forbranding purpose ?, I have seen Facebook accounts with lots of updates about their grudges with their neighbor or co-worker. Social Media Sites users should know that any updates in their social media sites might be stored in Google cache. and any updates that could lead to bad reputation will not be good for their online brand. Social Media users might not feel the effect at this moment, but for sure it will hunt them in future.
Who knows, time will come that an investors will have to search in Google or in Facebook , a partner’s name before dealing with any transaction. Of course if reputation is bad, possible investors will not risk their investment. Same thing goes with an employer, who could checks applicant’s background anytime. Social Media sites , can give an impression about the applicant.
So be careful on what you say online. This might be something that will back fire later on. Just a friendly reminder.
I’ve never understood people who bitch about work on their social media sites. I refrain from ever talking about work conditions on my personal blog. People should really be more mindful of ranting about work in a public way. Could bite them back in the ass.
I’m not much a frequent user of social networking sites (I rarely visit my Facebook account which I just opened to promote my blog). I’d rather be living my life than typing about it. I guess that’s why I don’t blog often, LOL.
@fruityoaty,
Oh.. I’ve been busy this days… Thanks for the comment. ” People should really be more mindful of ranting about work in a public way.” I agree 100% . We need to use the social media sites for promoting and not for ranting.
