Comment on Adam Orth leaving Microsoft proves personal Twitter accounts are deadparent

Comments

I don't buy this argument. Communicating verbally requires far less friction than posting to Twitter does, and yet professionals have managed to not say everything that crosses their mind when it isn't appropriate.

I think the parent addressed this pretty clearly.

"If you say something dumb in a conversation, it floats away on the wind unless someone else involved makes a concerted effort to tell people about it."

That don't make Twitter not a good idea. The problems needs to be fixed properly.

Or not..... comments about "legitimate rape" come to mind.
