Tweeting has gained much negative attention due to all the careless celebrities who use it. The misuse of the tool has caused more negative publicity rather than positive ones. Like with any communication tool, it is a double edged sword and must be used with caution. 

Over the past week, a tweet showed up saying that President Obama was making a surprise visit to Afghanistan. Shortly after, it gained a lot of media attention and news stations from both Afghanistan and U.S. started releasing stories of the President’s whereabouts. 

A few minutes later, the National Security council had to get involved and order for the tweet to be taken down, because it could be life threatening for the president and everyone involved.

Moral of the story: Think twice before you tweet. It could cost you not only your reputation, but your life!
