When should you delete a tweet? #career #reputation
I just found this flowchart today on some German websites and I thought it might be nice to translate it into English for you.*

A tweet is sent in seconds but seems to
be a quite long process where you
have to reconsider a lot of questions.
The questions shown in this flowchart are:
Did you tweet about private stuff?
Did you tweet about job related stuff?
What the heck are you twittering about?
Did you tweet abour an ex-partner? A friend? A colleague?
Was the content about your boss, a client or a current project?
Where you drunk at this time?
Of course you were! Again…
Did you tweet in a negative, criticising way?
Did you praise your boss or advertise your company?
Ask for a pay raise!
Did you upload a twitpic?
Does it show someone whos drunk and/or naked?
Are there confidential company information to see on this?
Are you using an anonymous account?
And there are always two options, once a tweet is sent:
Well done, let the tweet stand!
DELETE THIS TWEET !!!
*So I did this only to find out later that this was inspired by wired
Did you ever delete a tweet?
I’m sure everyone did delete a tweet every now and then.
Why did you do it?
And do you dare to say it here?

That looks great. THX! How long did that took you to paint it?

You’re welcome! Maybe this took me 10 minutes?

Sometimes I fear my own grafic skills…
