In order for you to know what to expect when following @saproject on Twitter we decided to publish a brief “Guide to Twitter”. Everyone uses Twitter their own way.

Here is how we are using it for @saproject:

1. Subject of Postings
@saproject will keep you in the loop about the progress if South Africa Project – Time for Ubuntu. That’s it. We will post new blog entries, milestones or truly relevant information. If you want something with a more personal touch you can follow or reach out to some of our team members at @klaus2go, @DaveTaylor, @zsazsa, @ChrisKauza or @felix_holzapfel. We will not use @saproject for other purposes that are not related to South Africa Project.

2. Following Policy
We know that ratios and # of followers are important to many users of Twitter. Therefore we decided to return the favor and follow you back. This does not apply to spammers. We will block them and do not support their practices since they harm the integrity of the Twitter community.

Please note that @saproject following you means that you should send us direct messages. Contact us or befriend our team members on Twitter instead.

3. Conversations
Sending us a DM to @saproject is not the best way to initiate a conversation. I’d recommed to contact us through our website, reach us via our Facebook Group or Fan Page or befriend any of us on Twitter directly (accounts listed above).

4. Confidentiality
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. If you decide to share something that is not meant for the public it will stay where it belongs.

Since Twitter changes all the time this policy will be subject to change as well…
