Post reporter suspended for Twitter hoax

Check out the link about a Washington Post reporter who was suspended for posting a hoax on his Twitter account: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/01/business/media/01post.html
Please note the reporter's quote: “I’m paying the price I should for careless, dumb behavior in the multiplatform media world.”
Be careful what you post in social media, especially if you are part of a news organization. Even if it is your personal account, you are representing the medium for which you work. Don't give it an excuse to suspend - or fire - you.
