Can't wait to read 2 & 3. I like the tone. I like the humble referrals and even the very obvious photo credits. Nice community minded feel. Now on to part 2... I’m in the edge of my seat.

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:06:27 +0000 http://paulkortman.com/?p=87#comment-81 I wanted to comment after I read this last night, but after a few glasses of wine, I decided I better wait until this morning. :) Though, as I said, I'm now eagerly awaiting parts 2 & 3. I've been struggling with how to manage another account I have - festivalgr - because it's for an annual event and there's not much to say about it right now, but yet, I'd like to have lots of followers closer to June to be able to give live updates on Festival. Do I put my voice behind it, or follow a branded voice that may seem less personal? And how do I not sound like a commercial? And how do I interest people in following? These are all questions I've been pondering and would be interested in your thoughts. As for my own personal account, well, I am who I am and I tend to write whatever pops into my head. That's fairly consistent with who I am so from that standpoint, I think I'm pretty true to my own "brand" - whether good or bad. :) If I had a business or wanted to promote something, I'd probably write different things. The idea of a 'Trivium of Twitter Accounts' appeals to me for that reason. But I question how to manage them all without losing your mind? There's only so much time in the day... That's enough for now. Great job on this post and I look forward to reading the rest!
