You can have the logo be in the background and then the person on the display picture. Personally, I would prefer this to that of just the logo. I did disagree with the one that said do not direct message right away. That actually help myself gain followers. All you have to do is say a simple hi, and what you tweet about.Cory Keaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351485937383219433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-39353785280062167442010-04-28T03:04:26.550-07:002010-04-28T03:04:26.550-07:00I thought this was a very helpful list.

Hanna is right- journalists can benefit from these principles as much as businesses can. <br /><br />However, one point stated that the company's logo should be used as the avatar for the business's Twitter profile. I think this contradicts an article we read earlier in the semester. <br /><br />That article told companies to use the photo of the person actually in charge of social media interaction for the company. The theory was that this would give a human face to the business and would allow customers to feel more connected with the brand. <br /><br />Mashable is one example of this concept. The avatar on Mashable's Twitter feed shows the company's founder Pete Cashmore. The background on his profile includes the Mashable logo and links to the homepage, but the avatar itself is brand-free.Rachel Gullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398009400664661716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-72030659828664567152010-04-27T21:32:13.788-07:002010-04-27T21:32:13.788-07:00This is good advice, and not just for companies us...This is good advice, and not just for companies using Twitter as an advertising medium. Several of these rules apply to journalists, as well. Especially, those new to using Twitter as a journalism tool. This way they will be able to get the news out without becoming annoying to readers for rookie mistakes.Hanna Russmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125068867484807240noreply@blogger.com
