It's not strange to have business and social points on your twitter really. Actually helps define your personality in such a shared community..and consequently ending with significant and relevant followers. Hence, supporting the message we all wish others pay attention to or at least take 'a look into'. Hi all..

You're not wrong in fingering the behaviour of some on Twitter that abuse its social ethos and use it to push product. Yet we've had comments on this blog from social media advocates I respect who are quite comfortable with companies such as Dell using Twitter to promote special offers. I guess the choice is there - to follow or not to follow; it's up to you. My use of Twitter started out as work-focused alone and evolved into being semi-social, which is a bit like going to work, I suppose. Rhodri

I follow a few PRs, and there are a few that follow me (although I'm not sure why, as I rarely post anything work-related.) And receiving a message via Twitter is no more irritating or delightful than receiving it via email. I suppose my objection is that I prefer to use Twitter as a social tool, rather than a work one. And when work starts to invade it too much, I feel the urge to push it away. Or, indeed, ignore it. So all I was saying is - don't be put off if your initial impressions of Twitter are grim, cos you can probably mould it into a service that you can enjoy... hello Jon,
