Nacie,

I think I have the same answer as you gave yourself. I believe there are no hard-line “rules” for how to use social media other than those we create for ourselves. I always suggest that people be themselves above and beyond all else, then take stock regularly about how that works for them. It takes wisdom and intelligence to analyze yourself and your results objectively, but determining the best course of action for your specific personality, brand and goals is vital to lasting success, in my opinion. Continuous evaluation is necessary too.

Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment. :)

Excellent overview of the potential troubles of social media. I think one thing that’s interesting is how nuanced each of these points are – its true that sharing too much is potentially harmful, but where is the line between edgy/engaging and too much? Obviously I understand that sharing info about your manager’s personal life etc is too much, but several of the points you mentioned (including self-promotion) beg the question: when does it cross the line from being distinctive and memorable/successful to being negative?

To answer my own question, I feel that the line is different depending who you are/what your personal brand is, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
