Are You Committing Social Media Suicide?

How many unwritten rules of ethics are there for using social media?  Quite a few, it seems. Some mistakes can make or break a business, so  it only makes sense to remind ourselves what’s cool and what’s taboo  when it comes to posting on Facebook, Twitter and the like.

Via LinkedIn, Marvin Powell, a Small Business Growth Consultant,  sought answers to the less often-asked question: “What are the  biggest mistakes that you find small business leaders make when using  social media?”

Last week Business Insider posted the top 15 mistakes in its War Room section. Participating in the discussion, I learned immensely  from others’ detailed comments, which ranged from ridiculous  self-promotion to inconsistency.

Business Insider combed through and selected a core 15, but any  business (and person) could benefit from reading the entire LinkedIn Q&A, which garnered more than 75 responses.

How about you? Care to share some of your own faux pas? Or, at the  least, share with us an online embarrassment you witnessed?
