The British government has published a guide to help ministers understand how to use the social networking site Twitter, with the aim of extending its news and corporate messages online.
Better they read the Terms & Conditions of Twitter, if any thing goes wrong, they should discover a scrape goat., as Twitter is not willing to be one..!
The guide, written by Neil Williams of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), asks ministers to tweet “a minimum 2 and a maximum of 10 tweets per working day, with a minimum gap of 30 minutes between tweets to avoid flooding our followers.”
“The idea was to give some sort of guidance of joining everyone up so everyone is using it to the same kind of end,” said the spokesman.
Ministers are also encouraged to tweet with credibility and bear in mind relevant issues while avoiding commercially or politically sensitive information.
I guess I might get inside political stories, if I could decode the inner meaning of a Tweet, Better than buying a newspaper..Lol!
With government departments such as the Foreign Office and Downing Street already tweeting, the 20-page guide details how ministers should provide an “informal” and “human” voice.
“We are looking at technology that is only a couple of years old, that people are still coming to terms with and finding the best way to use it,” said a Cabinet spokesman.
