DO see who else has checked in to the venue you are at. It’s a great way to meet local people.
DON’T auto-feed every check-in to Twitter if you are a power user, you will alienate your network.
DO add context! Include a message, especially if your posts feed to Twitter or Facebook. Share something interesting about the venue or add another message so your followers know why this is important!
DON’T violate your customer/clients privacy by checking in when you shouldn’t.
DO be cautious of your personal safety.
DON’T check in at the same time and place every day if you are concerned about personal safety. Be aware that frequent check ins can indicate a pattern of your physical whereabouts.
DO add tips for other users in your network.
DON’T check-in if you are supposed to be somewhere else (like at work!)
and most importantly…DO use common sense.
