The social media sites are great networking tools, and can be useful for business. But if you don’t take steps to guard your reputation there can be repercussions.

I really can't get enough of these types of articles. For people like me that are blunt and opinionated by nature, text really is a terrible communication medium for being tactful since the oh so important element of body language is lost. I know that I've been an idiot more than a few times in my time learning about forums and social media. (and I'm sure I will be again)

The issue of online reputation management is massive and if there's one piece of advice I could give people on the subject. Educated your children. What you write today may very well be the difference between the job you get or lose tomorrow. (or 10 years from now)

It's good to follow this how-tos in maintaining reputation while social networking.

I think it quite possible to be downright rude and insulting as long as it's done with humor, excellent language skills,  and a touch of creativity.

For example don't tell that cretin to go fork himself. Instead kindly suggest that he attempt a solo stint in procreation. That fellow that just questioned your integrity isn't a "jagoff", he's simply been spending a lot of time with Manuela and her five sisters. That person who suggested that you are inbred isn't a moron. they are simply neuronally challenged.
