Will there be a point where posting to Twitter will tarnish your reputation or brand? In the early days Twitter became an excellent platform for Journalists. Many a career benefited from posting. Now your content is mixing with some, for lack of better term, slop. Hard to give up that follow list?

American Flag

I make a couple of posts with this graphic, and a few words about me, recently. A few days later I started seeing a gray box covering the graphic. Does anyone know why this would happen?
