Oh be careful famous Tweep what you Tweet; be careful famous Tweep what you Tweet; cause the Timeline up in front is awaiting to upload your dump; Oh be careful famous Tweep what you Tweet.
Play it again!
Oops, Twitter did it again!
Apologies; that was beyond the pale.
Ohhhkay; enough humming along to my own tomfoolery, as we have another instructive tale of the tweeting tape.
Twitter.
The Platform that provides one freedom in words, to communicate whatever is on one’s mind, to whomever is reading!
Truth.
However, theory and practice is not so clear-cut. When the prevailing culture actually gives a feral pest about what you offer up; handle with care.
This past Friday night in a SupeRugby sporting context we were given another example of the moment roaming wild!
Roar! Although; this is Rugby Union, not Soccer Football!
Back to the Plot-Line.
After being forced to endure from the sidelines, injured Reds/Wallabies winger, Digby Ioane, would let his frustration run lyrical with the on-line Bird… Word!
Frustrated after an indecisive Keith Brown refereeing performance that would ultimately prove decisive, as double A-ron Cruden would kick the winning points for the Hurricanes; Ioane would tweet the following description of the man in the middle:
“the worst ref ever”
Once a Tweet has been set free, it is futile to try and go discreet, as the Bird has well and truly flown, with interested Tweeps already clicked, RT.
I saw it myself at the time and thought; he we go!
Even though, Ioane was very quick to delete the offending tweet; would apologise; even banning himself from Twitter… for a time, as he has sent a couple since, the damage was done.
The result of all is that Ioane must go before the Sanzar judiciary on the charge of breaching its code of conduct.
Famous does not necessarily mean more freedom.
If you are Brand-aware; what you tweet is a mirror. If you represent; it will reflect!
Digby Ioane is one of the most upfront Rugby Tweeps presently riding the platform wave, and his freedom in tweet is something that I hope he continues; even as he remembers there is a price to pay.
To Skillful Tweeting!
McCawesomeness
Until Next Time
