"What are you doing" Is the million dollar question Twitter asks its users. Some people get it, some don't. No I don't want to hear your up-to-the-minute movements: "I'm sitting" "Now, I'm standing" I want to hear something interesting, like what you've done to change the world, inspirational quotes, fun meaningful updates.
Well it seems the MP's over there in Ottawa, don't have it down quite right. Liberal MP Michelle Simson recently had to apologize to Tory MP Dean Del Mastro after tweeting the following during a committee meeting: “In committee this morning. M.P. Del Mastro should grow up (not out).” That was followed by: “Gosh, I hate to see a grown M.P. pout. Smile, Dean.” Sweetheart.....noooo! It's obvious the line between acceptable and non-acceptable tweets is blurred. When you're a CEO, or another influential figure you have to be very careful about what you say. Put it this way, if you wouldn't say it to his face, why say it to thousands of other people only to have it bite you in the ass? Sounds simple doesn't it? Yet I'm amazed at how many people STILL don't get it.
I think it's great that politicians want to 'connect' with the outside world; but if you're not answering my questions, like why taxes are going up again, or why this bright idea of an HST tax is rolling out, then I don't want to hear from you.
