Wow this really is weird. My good friend was just telling me about this the other day.

Comment on Basecamp: as much for your clients as it is for you [updated] by Mitchell McKenna

I chose to use it for project management for group projects during university, it was simple and we didn’t need much more out of it. In my last year my professor at Dalhousie asked our class to use Zoho Projects instead (it’s got a couple more features and still free, but not as simple) so everyone was using the same thing – have you tried that one out?

Take me to your burger. I bet Bishop could eat two.

It may taste great to those into that kind of thing, but A) I agree with Cmdr. Spock – it “looks” horrible. B) Personally, it doesn’t sound like a workable combination of ingredients. But I hope it’s successful for you and it’s a great effort, if nothing else!

I’m a vegetarian so this does not appeal to me whatsoever. That aside, apart from your less-than-perfect presentation, you did one hell of a fine job here, gentlemen. Now, I’m off to consume some “assorted vegetables“.

Comment on The business Twitter account question by Janz

I think that for some businesses should have multiple accounts too – depending on the different audiences you have. If you may have different types of possible followers, with different types of interest, its valuable to split off different types of content.

One of our clients is a tourism board (OK, not the best small business example, but bear with me), and we’ve recommended that the keep one account for business members (research, stats, new developments, marketing opportunities), and another for visitors (what’s happening this weekend? What events are on?).

Different audiences have different interests… so don’t bore someone with info that doesn’t apply to them. So furthermore, in my opinion, don’t use the same twitter account for personal AND business.

Yeah, we’ve basically been taking the personal approach too, seems to work well so far. I think the same way, Deirdre, managing more than one account isn’t that easy. Though I also know I’ve lost a business connection follower or two probably because of that, and maybe I tweet too much sometimes. The different audience point is important too, of course the questions is will there be different content? It’s a good question though, that I don’t think people ask often enough, which seems to leave them asking “now what?” Thanks for the great responses :)

Initially, my twitter account was used personally but then I acquired more local business followers and have changed most of my tweets to business topics. I think it’s good to let prospective clients know a little about my personal life, but the transition is difficult.

Currently, if I tweet about a really cool database development, I get no replies. If I tweet about a really cool beer glass, I receive comments and retweets. It’s hard to know if business people are reading twitter for business information, or to kill time at work.

I’ll let you know how things progress.
