This question was inspired by a thought-provoking blog post from Russell Working on the PR Daily blog.
In this post, Russell shares a 'top 10' list of examples of allegedly terrible social media advice.
These examples of bad social media advice were suggested by "communicators, professors and others."
Here's the number one entry in Russell's countdown of "the worst ever advice about social media":

E. Blake Jackson, social media coordinator for Chesapeake Energy, once read a blog post by a "guru" which chastised companies with social media policies, saying they don't get it. "I pray for the legal and human resources departments of his clients," Jackson writes.
Russell's post is well worth reading in full: The worst-ever advice about social media.
