Posting Appropriately On Social Media

Posted:

We could all take a lesson from a Democratic lawmaker's inappropriate tweet Wednesday about a Republican counterpart.

Representative Jessica Haak hake was sending out tweets during the floor session Wednesday about the debate on funding private schools.

She later tweeted Majority Leader Al Carlson instructed her to stop tweeting things happening on the floor.

And hash tagged "Nazi" at the end of her tweet.

Haak has since apologized, but it's a good reminder for everyone who uses social media sites to watch what you post. Carleen Shilling with Eide Bailly, says it's important to read over what you write before hitting post, not just for grammatical errors but to make sure the content of the message is appropriate.

She says posting something inappropriate will stay on cyber space for years.

"When you go out and Google you name, you want to see the positive information show up on the pages that display your name, so avoid using an old cliche that your grandmother wouldn't be proud to read," Eide Bailly CPA Partner, Carleen Shilling said.

Shilling says when she googles her own name she finds about 14 pages of information about herself.
