I also have a lot of rules for how I use Twitter, so I thought I would share them. I was very deliberate when I wrote “rules for how I use Twitter.” I wouldn’t presume to tell you how to use Twitter.

I was reviewing my Twitter follower list this morning and came across a potentially disturbing account tweeting what appears to be someone’s private information. I reported this account by sending a Direct Message to @spam on Twitter. If it’s for real, I hope Twitter shuts it down soon.

But have you ever wondered whether it’s “OK” to copy and publish someone else’s words and ideas? My publisher generally allows me to grant permission to people who request the right to reproduce content from my book as long as the material constitutes less than 10% of the book.

Based on the comments the piece received, I’ve updated it and Talent Zoo published it this morning. They search social network profiles on Facebook, Twitter, etc.; read blog content; and generally look at every available piece of candidate information found online.
