4. Law of Incorrect Tweets
The initial, mistaken information will be
retweeted more than any subsequent
correction
6. Lessons
• Andy is not just about SM. Lots of old school work
comes first.
• What you don’t know is just as, or more,
important as what you do.
• Hedging often gets stripped, so work to confirm
before you tweet
• Questions encourage interaction, convey
uncertainty.
• He RTs and adds context and info.
8. Verifying Real-Time/SM Info
• Track back RTs, etc. to source
• Look for clusters
• Location enabled?
• Evaluate the network
• Evaluate the history
• Links, photos?
• Take it old school
• Disclose, hedge, repeat
• Be brave only in correction
