Beth Harte (@BethHarte) from The Harte of Marketing brings us the following post about the culture of Twitter:

In a nutshell, she wants you to be real. She believes that social networks should be based on human responses to human conversations. Just because you are typing on a computer, doesn’t mean that you can hide behind it. And if all you do is promote and not create a conversation, why should she care.

I couldn’t agree more.

  • Hi Howard, thanks for picking up my post from The Harte of Marketing, I appreciate it! It's really important for folks just dipping their toes in the social media pool to understand that being real is an asset for success. People talk to people...not made up names, avatars, etc.
