Did Kellogg's analyze how much market share they lost for dropping Michael Phelps? or was it easier to just blame JWT? I know they lost my business for passing judgment on an Olympic Gold Medalist.

Thanks Loic - my feelings were hurt when you unfollowed me.

I don't auto follow, but I did set up an auto response for follows, thinking this was a good thing to do. NOW, I can't figure out how to delete it. I've tried and tried to figure it out, sent a request to support and a tweet to the Twitterverse.

Are there different programs that have this option? The only options I use are Tweet Deck and Friend or Follow - no robots.

Can you give me a clue?

I suspect it could be required by the employer. Their thinking - if he's blogging on our dime, he needs to brand our company. They don't pay their employees to brand and market themselves.

Or it could an ethical decision - same rationale as above, but self-imposed. For example, as president of my local business association or when representing a client, I don't promote myself. Just by being there and representing my client/association well, I am promoting myself - basically the high road.

That said, as a shameless self promoting freelance copywriter, I want my (real) name out there wherever I can. My user name has always been my name from two trains of thought. First and foremost - increased Internet presence and second, I stand behind what I say or I don't say it.

When I joined Twitter, nicknames seemed like the thing to do and so, I signed on as eloquentwriter. My real name and web address are listed in my profile. But I like eloquentwriter because more than a nickname, it describes me and what I do. I like it so well that it is the domain name for my new venture into the blogging world.
