| If you're on Twitter when you should be working or post stupid that could later get you in trouble or can be used against you, you deserve to be caught or get in trouble. Especially when it comes to the work place. You're suppose to be working, not tweeting your twatter followers. |

The bigger problem is if you are tweeting/twating/turding (whatever) on your own time and someone from work reads something that maybe you didn't want work to know about.
I think this is one of the main reasons why I don't use these things....I like to keep my personal life personal and don't feel the need to share my life with everyone I have ever met. |

That's your fault for writing something that you don't want seen. You know who you have on your followers list so maybe you should be more aware.
I'm bitter because some chick in marking was just fired for some issue with Twitter and shes all whiny and crying because " oh, it's just Twitter, so harmless" |

Oh, I agree that its your responsibility to make sure you don't post stupid stuff on these things....if you do and get caught, sucks to be you. Unfortunately, too many people feel they have to put as many people as they can on these things so they can show off how many tweeters or facebook friends they have...then they post video of themselves drunk and running around in boxer shorts and cowboy boots singing the gambler. |

No one ever thinks it could be used against them when they post though. That's the thing. The CEO of a Edelman PR didn't think it would be a big deal when he said he didn't ever read the free copy of PC Mag he was sent, but then PC Mag heard about his comment and called for an industry boycott of the company's PR services. But there is nothing wrong with the guy actually disliking the magazine...so why not tweet about it?
Just as easy as it is to have a slip of the tongue or have an innocent comment be misinterpreted or overreacted to, a tweet can go much further in coming back to haunt you.
(Man I hate the word tweet.) |

You're right, people don't think it could be used against them. The problem is they don't think period. Why would you comment on something your company is involved with? That's stupidity at its greatest. Way to go moron, your lack of thought might have caused your company a hefty amount of money and a good client. |

Uh, the company was not involved with the magazine whatsoever - PC Mag was not a client. The CEO was simply sent a complementary issue of it every month.
The reality is that you cannot control people's (over)reactions to harmless comments - it has nothing to do with "thinking about things period." with twitter being much like a chat application, all of a sudden a quick comment can be taken out of context by WAY more people than had you been having an actual conversation. |

My mind boggles at the sheer volume of marketing buzzwords being bandied about here.
Brands? Value-add? Real-time? Shoot me.
Even the buzz-phrase "social network" is totally wrong for Twitter. Twitter isn't a social network, it's a mammoth repository of user-created headlines with a few Web 2.0ey features thrown in to make it more palatable to Joe the Plumber. It's definitely not a direct-marketing tool outside the fevered imaginations of wide-eyed green MBAs and their eager students.

ummmm twitter is a social network... I really dont see how you can say its not :conf:
Just the fact the user1 and user2 read each others posts and are able to communicate to one another is enough to make it a social network.
For me the value is the how fast I am able to find valuable or entertaining information. It is a quick place that I can find out whats going on in the city without havint to search through pages on multiple web sites. I have tons of articles - music and marketing related - quickly at my finger tips. I quickly have accesss to some of the newest recorded sets. Or I can see whats on my friends minds.
Also I like that on Twitter I can follow people without people having to accept me (yes that means no privacy, so Twitter may not be right for you). This means that I can find out where Jaytech is travelling or what the Head of Content @ marketing profs is reading without them having to be my friend.
The key to Twitter is posting things of Value.... not the same on Facebook.
Facebook is also extremely cluttered and typically full of personal posts vs informative posts or posts that will provide the reader with value. I find that people on facebook rarely suggest things (Although I think we Facebook rephrases the status updates to 'whats on your mind') |
