No, they're not all the same, and yes, best practices continue to evolve along with the technology. &nbsp;Earlier today, I had the opportunity to present a Continuing Legal Education seminar on this topic to the American Bar Association Techshow in Chicago. &nbsp;I discussed:

core/paragraph

what "social media" even means anymore in the age of internet 3.0 and wearable technology;

core/list-item

the importance of tailoring policies to the client's culture and industry;

identifying the constituency to whom the policy applies;

helping those governed by the policy understand why these rules are important;

the fragility of reputation and social media's power to shape it;

employment law dangers posed by online interactions;

protecting confidentiality and avoiding eavesdropping issues in the workplace;

protecting yourself against impersonation and hacking threats.
