You Still Can Edit Instant Publication
With the advent of social media sites like Twitter, push button publication is instantaneous and in many cases forever.
Even if you delete what you’ve posted, there are hundreds of indexers that constantly monitor the live stream of data in social media. The longer you take to delete it, the possibility of someone seeing it increases.
Personally, I don’t worry too much about it. Most indexers (if not all) are automated systems anyway. And your content is not relevant to everyone all the time, so chances are that no one is looking.
But what if you do if you make a mistake? What if someone does see?
Delete it…change it…edit it. If the site you are on does not allow this because you took to long to make your changes. Post a follow up or comment on the post. We see this all the time in the publication world with misprints and press release corrections.
When I blog, I constantly go back over the post and take out what I don’t like or phrase something differently. Pushing out content is more important to me than perfectionism.
Most of the time, I don’t make any noise about misspelled words or rephrasing what I’ve written. I just go ahead and do it. If I make a supreme blunder, I may leave it there crossed out or use ‘edited’ at the top of the post. When additional content is added, I’ll have an ‘Update’ announcement at the end of the post followed by the new content.
