Image above credited to FEED: The Digital Design BlogJust came across some very interesting (and funny) advice from Tim Richards posted back in April at the Razorfish Digital Design Blog on why you should not twitter professionally!
While several million people pile into Twitter, the Millennial Short Form Brain Nugget Sharing Service, lots of folks are wondering, “How do I manage my work-related persona in these memed-out, darling-and-pundit-infested waters?”
Truth is, tons of folks are readily mixing work and pleasure online. In fact, it’s been going on for years; I think it used to be called business networking, or something. Or, maybe just networking? I think the Social Media label throws the whole thing off - as if it were a new frontier...
At the risk of dropping quadruple negatives, here are Five Reasons You Shouldn’t Tweet Professionally:
1. You’re Not Comfortable with Your Personal and Work Lives Spilling Into Each Other.
2. You’re Not Funny.
3. You’re Not “Good with People.”
4. You Don’t Have a Blog or Somewhere Else to Continue the Conversation.
5. You Can’t Actually Help Your Company’s Customers.
