Danny, I just loved this post. People are all different, and so are businesses, and there is no one right model for everyone and every company. And if there really are some social media commandments, they needed to be tweeted, then linked to LinkedIn and Facebook…

Spot on mate. I think that is part of the reason why Gary Vaynerchuck has said he wants to get back into the grind. Sometimes you can look from the outside for so long, you tend to miss what is going on inside.

Haha Jack – I could be wrong but I don’t think Chris suffers from too many moments of inferiority in his day to day life. But regardless your point is spot on….people will vote with their feet. I know I do.

But that’s the point of the post, Yasmin – the relevance of the platform. If you want to use Twitter as a business platform only, go ahead and do that – many have, and successfully too.

But I think you’ll find that those that infuse a human element are far more engaging than a strait-laced business account, or at least are perceived to be.
