Breaking Copy Explains Where to Post Your Status

— November 7, 2011 — Art & Design
The world of social media can be rough waters to navigate, but Breaking Copy has just the helpful and hilarious flowchart to make the road towards becoming a social networking super star a little less bumpy.

Every social site has a space for you to speak your mind to viewers, but because humans have many layers it can be hard to determine which thoughts and clever anecdotes are appropriate on which sites. It can be difficult to cultivate a different image on each site, but necessary if you hope to wield the power of social media confidently.

Since the advent of the Internet, employers, recruiters and potential consumers have been given the power to follow your every move and analyze all the toneless text you care to post. As with ill-fated text messages, it can be difficult to understand an author's sentiment through text alone. How do you master this somewhat distant form of interaction? You learn to know your audience on various sites and you attempt to create content that avoids misunderstandings as much as possible. In other words, it's time to get hip with the wild and wacky world of social media.

Follow this humorous flowchart from Breaking Copy and you'll be a digital social butterfly in no time flat.
