I swear that one of these days we are going to meet face to face. Do I need to bring K-Dawg & @babywaldow to Austria? Don't make me do it. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to 'experiment" with Twitter (can't believe it's been a year). You're an invaluable resource to the email marketing community. Keep crushing it. Also, thanks for the "social animal" reference. I've never thought of it that way. <br /><br />You are too kind, my friend.<br /><br /><br />DJ Waldow<br />Director of Community, Blue Sky Factory<br />@djwaldow Mark -

And it's one that CEO's quickly latch onto once they realise the 'low cost marketing' (which usually includes Twitter) they were promised is actually taking up someone's time. Then there is often a wrangle about whether social marketing should continue. Obviously it all depends on your sector / product but perhaps the quickest way firms can get value from SM is to bring in a consultant short term to get systems set up and avoid all the most common mistakes.

Agree, finding that balance is the key. And in that sense the same challenge you get with, for example, the classic email newsletter. Thanks Mark. Agree, finding that balance is the key.

As a new Tweeter I have often wondered about the value of Twitter. I think it's very much a case of delivering good content and finding a balance between self promotion and offering news that people will enjoy reading or the occasional video to entertain - this usually gets me a better response in terms of followers than regular promotion tweets. The time suck is a big factor too as tweets I believe have a limited shelf life before they are forgotten. Great post Mark ( I suspect your breakfast is more interesting than many LOL).
