There is a debate in social media and I would like to know where you draw the line.
Should you be all business, or mix it up?
Anyone who follows my twitter stream will know outside my blog(s) I am far from all business. Just in last couple of days my tweeple and I discussed:
- Which was the worst Transformer (answer: Arcee – it was pink!).
- How you define “Eastern Canada” (answer: depends where you live, and if you mean geographically or politically).
- Where to buy T-Shirts (answer: depends how geeky you want to look).
- Which was followed by a discussion with Chris Brogan about dress code (answer: pants are pretty important).
- and the geekiness that is my desk (video).
But we also discussed my first business blogging article for WordTracker and a web conference to raise money for charity.
While on my main blog I do talk about things outside of the main focus, I always bring the topic back to web related issues. I am interested in all kinds of things so rather than bunch it all together I have several websites, in particular a personal blog, but I do not really want to have more than one Twitter account.
People have commented that they followed me for blogging stuff – could I be losing people due to these “off-topic” conversations? I am hardly sticking to the 80-20% rule on Twitter, unless the 20% rule is the business stuff!
Could there be a case for more people having “work” and “personal” social media accounts? I can see more corporate type social accounts such as @richardatdell requiring it – what happens when Richard is no longer atDell?
Have you got social media accounts that are all business? Do you prefer to follow people who stick to one topic?
Do you truly know yourself?
