If you’re using social media in a personal capacity, do simple gut checks like discussing which photos are appropriate to post on your Facebook wall. If you’re blogging in a personal capacity, ask permission before going forth with it. It’s hard to explain passion for Twitter or a love of a blog. Thanks Deb!
