Using social media can improve and enrich your working and social life, but it can also turn against you quickly. It may be seen as a quick and easy way of communicating but how smart and disciplined do you need to be to manage your social networking accounts?

Simon Smith and guests discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of using personal social media if you work in the media.

Joining Simon are Steve Bowbrick, Editor of About the BBC, Rowan Kerek Robertson, Interactive Lead, Social Media Exec for BBC Vision and Steve Saul, writer and social media producer.
