With the great surge of people using Twitter to tell the world what they're doing, people need to stop and think about what they are tweeting and where they are tweeting from. Especially those who will tweet about things that should be filed in the TMI (Too Much Information) Folder. So read on for a few simple tips about where it is and isn't alright to tweet from and a few things that you should never tweet about.

5 Places NOT To Tweet From:

1) The Restroom. This is most especially important if you're in a public restroom. There are a few different reasons for this. First off, the people who are in the restroom do not need to hear you using your cell phone to talk or text from. Secondly, it's highly unsanitary for you to use your phone in such a germ infested environment. And even still, your followers don't need to know that you're in the restroom. Unless you're in the restroom with a celebrity and you've already washed your hands ;)

2) Your Car. If you're in the passenger seat, fine, tweet away. But if you're driving, don't tweet. You create a highly dangerous environment for yourself and the people you share the road with. You're not supposed to be talking on a cell phone while you drive without a hands free device, so you should not be texting or tweeting while you drive for the exact same reason. Once you can tweet hands free, go right ahead.

You are asked to turn your phones to silent, so shouldn't it be courteous to not text and tweet? It's incredibly inconsiderate to have all those lit up screens all over the theater, it's also incredibly distracting, especially the coliseum seating type of theater where you can see everything the people in front of you are doing. Not to mention the fact that you're sending out spoilers to people who possibly have not seen the movie yet.

4) Anywhere that you're interacting with others. This is yet another bit of common sense, but it seems that in today's cell phone obsessed society, it has slipped the minds of many. If you're in a social situation where you're surrounded by people who want to talk to you, put your phone away, you can tweet later. If you're showing people what Twitter is, that's fine, but show them and then put it away. There is a lot more to the world than Twittering. People still want to have face to face contact with you and
