It seems like a weird waste of time to me.</p>RobinFri, 10 Oct 2008 13:04:07 -0000http://www.copydiva.com/business-rules-of-engagement-in-social-computing-starting-with-twitter/#comment-6357189<p>I think you're on the right track here-- it's hard to keep a balance, especially if you're a narcissist AND a shameless self-promoter, AND your tweets are both for personal and professional reasons (guilty).</p><p>I've thought about creating a separate Twitter stream for my business, but part of what makes me, um, me, and part of what adds credibility to <a href="http://WideFoc.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="WideFoc.us">WideFoc.us</a> is the fact that I am my brand.</p><p>All that said, I don't think every single tweet must be a gem of relevance, but I do think we could all be a bit more focused in how we tweet.</p><p>So, my additions:<br>1. No need to tweet "Good morning" or "Good night."<br>2. Links to worthwhile URLs (your work or others) adds value to any Twitter update<br>3. Listen to feedback from friends and colleagues, but ultimately do what you want.</p><p>Thanks, CopyDiva!</p>EricMon, 06 Oct 2008 14:20:16 -0000
