Somewhat funny tweet via the @RedCross twitter account the other day when one of their employees who obviously had access to the corporate account tweeted her thoughts about beer through the wrong channel.
Ah. This never happens in the context of ministry, right? Right.
It can be tough, to be sure, to manage multiple Twitter accounts but I think there’s still some “safety” features that could be developed so as to stop anything like this from happening, ever.
It would be like a beer goggles for social media.

I admit… it had me laughing… Red Cross getting “slizzered?”
But, yes, it can be dicey. At the risk of sounding boorish, we should be a little, uh, careful with every tweet. Of course, that is a bit easy for me to say. As a church worker, my tweets and posts are always potentially open to review. But still, I have mixed up our church account with my personal one.
Hopefully, no one was too offended by /eastbaptistchurch

Hopefully, no one was too offended by /eastbaptistchurch really loving /brokenrubies.

I have both my personal and church twitter and Facebook accounts in the same Hootsuite account and I must say I am crazy paranoid about accidentally posting something to the wrong account. I check things at least three times before posting.

One way I get round this when tweeting on my mobile (Android) is to use two different twitter apps for the two accounts I have. For my personal account I use TweetDeck and for the church account I use the official Twitter app.
