Per cultural bias - 

I'd like to throw out the idea of a quota system for shares&tweets based on geography? We could have a world map with regions or topical areas (geography, science, history and so forth) and see what we've got lots of and what we're lacking? I suppose that the goal would be some level of 'flat' global coverage? I suppose a world map could roughly categorize regions into broad areas (Oceania, South Asia, East Asia, Central Asia/CIS countries, Middle East/North Africa, Sub-saharan Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, Outer Space)

Fair enough! Just a suggestion as all of my emails to this list are. 

I will say as a counter that this is an anniversary post suggestion and not just a random bit of biased trivia (despite my tongue-in-cheek subject line!). But to be true to the letter of the best practices is fine by me.

Sorry, guys. You can't spell NPOV without N-O. From our best practices for employees posting to branded accounts:

Do not post anything on our branded accounts that is personally motivated, for instance a shout-out to an organization you like.

The 103rd anniversary of a football club that's won one championship in the past 20 years (sorry, Joe) is just not newsworthy. It would open me up to posting for everyone else's favorite team from everywhere in the movement. And why just sports? Why not Ed's favorite battleships, or someone's favorite band?

Objectively speaking, there's no reason to post this other than it being a team member's favorite team. And that's a reason not to post it.

I'm open to brief and conclusive counter-argument. 

Thanks for enduring my sanctimonious lecture.
