Danny,
Yes, you're one of the greats. I always get so much out of what you write and share with your social networks. And I agree-- Rachel is definitely someone every PR person can learn from!

Rachel,
I hear you on not reacting to posts right away. I've done this before and decided after it was published that the tone was so negative. It's always good to wait, reflect, collect some compelling thoughts and arguments-- as you say.

Re: 10 People You Won’t See on Twitter Anymore

How is Twitter going to be able to detect plagiarism-- given the character limit, added commentary to a RT, someone stumbling upon a tweet one day from the secondary sharer, not the first. Innocence could be assumed guilty, and then we have another orange suit on our hands who didn't deserve to be barred from the system.

Thanks for your kind words on the post, Ginger! Some of the most influential Twitter users I know are the ones who could sit down to coffee with the person they're conversing with on Twitter-- without being the least bit awkward.

BTW, I checked out your site. What a great way to set up a business card-- by maintaining a web page with all your links!

I think my concern is that the Twitter space is so noisy, and at a cocktail party, you're not necessarily hearing everything that is said, unless you've got a very drunk individual in the room. I'm just frankly annoyed with people 'working' the Twitter feed and comments section on blogs that are run by social media greats. It's always the same "I love this post. You're so awesome, bla bla, bla." I love posts where people disagree, where others agree and actually offer value to the conversation, which is why I'm enjoying our back-and-forth here.

Thanks again for contributing to this!

Tim

Thanks, Elmer for your comments. Although you can't easily detect it, some people make it pretty obvious by 'working' the Twitter feed.

Hi Mike,
I meant to stir this up at the end so people would comment. I wholeheartedly disagree with the death threats matter. In fact, I was going to say that but decided to leave it up to the public to ponder.

The fact that this was pro bono makes a HUGE difference. That I missed and appreciate you bringing that to my and other's attention in your post. What do you know-- we're on the same wavelength.

This could receive huge backlash. Remember the stint with Anheuser Busch and them seemingly promoting binge drinking on campuses via their Facebook contest. I hear the TwitterMoms tweeting now. Ditch friends to eat unhealthy food... hmmm...

Re: Mixing Traditional Media With Social Media

Jacob,
These resonate so well with what myself and many communications pros are dealing with-- not fragmenting, but highly specifying the audience within the social media medium. It seems like putting restrictions on promos/ideas is how brands can identify their most heart-heavy fans.
