I guess I'm the type of person that likes to know interesting things about that person other than what they eat. But it does make a statement to personality. Good thoughts - thanks for sharing. Hi Colin,

I totally agree with you and Chris about sharing your personality through the social media platforms. I guess I’m the type of person that likes to know interesting things about that person other than what they eat. But it does make a statement to personality.

Good thoughts – thanks for sharing.

Certainly that can be part of it, but if that's all you're putting out there why should I follow you on twitter instead of an RSS feed? The best users put their personality out there, and sometimes that means knowing what they ate for breakfast:) I think its important to use twitter as Chris has stated to share your personality, and not just interesting and useful links.

And it's a line that is very easy to step over with all the social networking venues out there. In addition to the primary goal of driving traffic to your site, I would add that another legitimate use of Twitter is to communicate something of your personality. Inevitably, personal chemistry factors in to many hiring decisions, and Twitter is a way to show a little of who you are through retweets or the occasional personal note. From what I've heard from friends and colleagues who are regular tweeters, 25% links back to your own site, 25% fun stuff, and 50% links to other helpful information is a mix to strive for. Anyone else heard of optimal tweet mix levels? Yep, the fine line between marketing and pestering. And it’s a line that is very easy to step over with all the social networking venues out there.

Like you I try to follow those have something interesting or useful to Twitter about. I am not interested in being "sold to" on Twitter. I am a big girl and if there is something I am interested in buying, I will search for it online and perhaps ask for opinions. With that being said, I make it a point not to "sell" to those following me. I am looking for value and provide value, I hope. Wishing you a scent-sational day!
