Putting Digital Media to Work in Construction
posted on
Have you received a direct message on twitter like this:
“I think you have great ideas for the xxx community. Check this out: [LINK]”?
I thought I’d click the link to see what happened, and it wasn’t what I expected.
Mr Tweet appears to be using only these DMs to publicise its new communities. The direct message are so clearly open to misinterpretation, and the interface doesn’t tell you about the community before you have to join it. A communication #fail in my opinion. Do you agree?

I have been hit by these ‘fishy’ phishing looking DMs from some of my Twitter followers regarding a construction community. I was delighted to see that they think that I am an ‘expert’ in construction. But hang on, I don’t fancy dishing out my Twitter password to any Tom, Dick or Harry.
Su has clarrified it here.
It’s probably well intentioned, but a big communication fail I agree
Absolutely agree and well done for investigating this. Why would you try to build a community behind closed doors and without explaining what it is? Silly.
As if by magic, a spam arrives…
