Today’s episode teaches listeners about 14 critical dos and don'ts of social media management for technical writers and IT professionals. Listeners learn both what to do and, just as important, what to avoid to achieve success and best leverage their time with social media to improve their careers and be more successful.
Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the article by senior technical writer Curt Robbins. They explore how IT pros should consistently engage in social media, why they should leave their ego at the door and always practice sincerity and good intent, and why posting paywalled content might be a bad idea. They also explain why ranting, discussion of controversial topics, and foul language reflect poorly on IT professionals in a business context.
