Here is a question I received yesterday that I felt would make a good social marketing post (because I have been asked numerous times before).
I get confused on the social media sites like, Facebook, Twitter, even Skidoo etc. Should I be setting up a profile under my name to follow me specifically or setting up something that tells people to follow my website?
Here are my thoughts: My answer depends on the specific network, as well as what you are trying to accomplish, but let me first touch on the specific networks you mentioned in this question.
Twitter

Facebook, Marketing, social, Social Media, squidoo, Twitter
I was thinking about my old town (which happens to be owned by the Government now – seriously no kidding, look at the picture) and some of the neighbors I grew up next to.
My Old Town ... Seriously WTF??
The reason I started thinking about this is because I was trying to compare it to what kind of a neighbor I am in life, and especially online. It begs the question: What kind of a neighbor are you? I had some fun responses on Twitter about bad neighbors too, that I wanted to share: Thanks @Rhea, @MollerMarketing and @ArnieK for your responses!
The Rattlesnake Neighbor
I shared a story on Twitter about how the worst neighbor my family had growing up would always put dead rattlesnakes on our doorstep to try and scare us. Many many times it worked, but the shock factor eventually wore off and it became annoying and we paid no attention (and never became good friends). Can you see where I am taking this?
