Permission to Tweet?
Posted by Dan Steer
I recently spotted this on Twitter during a break from training and wondered: Should you ask permission to Tweet?
When I go to conferences, it seems normal to Tweet about the conference content, speakers, themes etc .. and of course, there is often a hashtag available and we are encouraged to Tweet.
But what if we are not encouraged?
With the digital age and the ability to share anything anywhere anytime, its clear that people WILL decide for themselves to share things that cross their path. But where is the line?
A few weeks ago, I was in a small meeting with some of my peers discussing approaches to onboarding. One of them made an interesting point. He is on Twitter, so I tweeted it, with reference to him. Is this cool?
From my point of view, I was not unhappy to see the above photo tweeted during training ..but I can imagine some people would be.
I’d be happy to have your thoughts…
What do you think? Since we CAN share anything, CAN WE?
