Vincent Wright suggested we start a movement called #IVouchFor to validate those of us who are real.
I never was a person to be politically correct and often that has gotten me in trouble and I do not claim to be great with word smithing but I do work to live by the things I speak about and on.
Those that followed me on twitter @lspearmanii know that my stream was about a few things
- Technology
- Ethics
- Business
- Helping others with less than 1000 build their following
- Posting links of interest using Viigo
- Never speak negative of others
- Edify everyone you can
- Help those who are starting get a leg up
- Discuss topics of interest
- Answer everyone (for the most part) who addressed you directly
- Conduct yourself with integrity
- RT people whose posts you link or are inspired/moved by
- When RTing people who are encouraging you to follow remove your name and encourage them to follow the other people on the list
- Follow people when they ask
- Follow those people that follow you
- Provide helpful advice and suggestions to anyone that asks
- Remove yourself from negative people
- Remember you exist to help others they do not exist to help or serve you
- Work to respond to people in their native language
- Treat everyone with respect even if they do not respect you
- Use 3rd party app to validate people but check each account manually
Review it and decide for yourself
Why I am in the dog house I do not know
I will keep you posted
PS - you can also follow the discussion on facebook regardless of outcome will keep you informed so that this can be a learning experience and so that what ever I did you will know and those of you who also post legitimate content and not spam can learn how to avoid.
