Twitter to LinkedIn – Be Careful!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Twitter_and_LinkedIn_Peanut_Butter_and_ChocolateTwitter on your LinkedIn?  Ooohhh wait a minute.

The hope is that LinkedIn users will tweet info to Twitter and vice versa. Some people really shouldn’t do this…and you know who you are!  The other people should take a minute and think about it.  Your employer may not always be able to find you on Twitter but now they will. Our 15 minutes of fame is now lasting a lot longer.

Understand, if you don’t do this right, every single tweet will update your status on LinkedIn!

You also have two additional options of installing a Twitter box and a Company Buzz box on your LinkedIn profile.

If you opt to turn on the STATUS feature remember to do this:

Twitter to LinkedIn – Log into LinkedIn

  1. Click on Profile
  2. Click on Edit Profile
  3. In the Twitter section click on Edit and check off “Share only tweets that contain #in”

(Only the hashtag tweets  of #in or #li will go to Linked status)

LinkedIn to Twitter – Log into LinkedIn

  1. Click  on Home
  2. Update your status and if you want it to feed to Twitter, check the Twitter box

This can be a great business tool as long as you remember to keep your eye on the birdie! Check out the details on LinkedIn Learn and let me know if you have any questions.

Twitter Me This

Why do you want your business to Twitter? This question has been asked many times before and it is still very valid. Some companies have answers and some just want to Tweet because others are doing it. This leads me to the bigger question, “What is Twitter?”  Most companies really don’t have an answer and hope that:

  1. It is a quick way to sell their overstock of microwave ovens
  2. It makes them look hip (but remember that Social Media is not a fad)
  3. It just gets them in the game (whatever the game is)

But it is a little more complicated than that. Twitter is one of many Social Media tools that can be different things to different businesses with a mixture of outcomes. That is why a Social Media assessment should be taken and analyzed to determine the purpose and audience for that first Tweet.  Measures of success should be put in place for all Social Media activities to determine which channels are yielding the best return on investment and return on influence (Thank you Jacob Morgan!)

Twitter is a conversation and sharing of information that can lead to real life actions. So, yes, it can help you get rid of your microwave ovens, just not overnight.

Addicted to your PDA and Twitter

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

twitter081009This morning I decided to go to the grocery store without reading my pink blackberry and walking at the same time. Wow, that was really hard to do but after several minutes I was able to enjoy the view and smile at the people that were heads down in their PDA’s.   This brings me to the very frustrating little birdie called Twitter.  Polly want a cracker or what?  I take care of Twitter for my clients and I feel like a caged bird waiting to be released.  I think this is a message to all of us to not become too addicted to something that seems so harmless because when it is taken away –  we go crazy!! I am still waiting on the sick birdie.  I love it when Twitter tells me to “chillax” but I just want to tell  Twitter to “let my people go” and let us back into our accounts. Tweet  Tweet
