My colleagues (well, mostly Chris and Danielle) share a lot of pictures of family, friends and their daily lives, so I figured it’d be fun to incorporate the occasional image into a social media pic tip. 10e20’s first SMPT, courtesy of lil’ V, is “Stay comfortable”:
What do we mean by “comfortable”? Well, if you’re creating a social presence online, whether it’s for yourself, your company or for a client, you want to make sure that all parties involved are comfortable with where you’re participating and what you’re saying. If you’re offended or put off by the comments you see on sites like Digg and Reddit, you should find someone who can stomach the remarks to share your content for you. If you’ve got someone managing your Twitter account and he’s being too colorful with his language, find a more suitable replacement. If someone asks you to share a link on Twitter or Facebook but you object to the content or disagree with it, don’t feel obligated to pass it along anyway just because you’re friends.
Ultimately, everything you post and share reflects back onto you and your business (or your client and their business), so it’s imperative to be comfortable with your messaging and the avenues where you participate. Remember, it’s your reputation. While you can’t control what others say about you, you can control what you put out and where you hang out in the social sphere. Make sure you’re happy with your messaging as well as the sites where you’re spreading these messages. For both you and your clients, a little comfort goes a long way when it comes to social media success!

I agree, especially for paying clients. Their reputation is at stake so they should always approve of the place where you are building a presence, as well as what you plan on saying in general.
I have read the article based on the Comfortable life.I agree with that if you’re creating a social presence online, whether it’s for yourself, your company or for a client, you want to make sure that all parties involved are comfortable with where you’re participating and what you’re saying.The reason of the comfortableness is due to your fluent speech and energy levels against others.The reputation is a thing which is foremost important in the various role of aspects.I want to know some new things and strategies.
I like this pretty little child on the photo – he's like an angel!
It's actually Chris and Danielle's daughter.
This is very big. I had an employee post a link to a adult site through the company twitter account. I lost 28 followers within an hour and over the next week my sales were down 35%. I feel it was the posting of the adult site that made this happen, at least in part. My sales took about 6 weeks to feel like it was fully recovered, but I probably still permanently lost some. This also proofs how critical it is to keep check on your employees. This link to the offending site was only up for 12 hours and did a lot of damage, think if it was stayed up or even for a week.
I can add also – stay comfortable as well as confident – without confidence it may be difficult to make up your mind!
