Be wise about your use of Twitter, Facebook, blogs, or anything else you post online. Assume that it won’t disappear or leave the Internet–ever. Someone will always be able to find it.

How will it affect your online reputation? Will it come back to haunt you? Think twice before hitting “publish.”

Also, if your boss is on Twitter, think twice before  accepting his follow request.

Trust me on that one.
