Great points for sure! All things will come to light eventually.

What about the idea that people like leaders and business people who show that they are human and as fallible as the next person?

As one who has been in the branding and marketing profession for quite a while, I have discovered that consumers are more likely to buy from someone who is trustworthy. You gain trust by being open and letting people have a glimpse of the real you.

The flip side is sometimes people say they want honesty from others then are the first to burn you at the stake when it goes against what they actually want to hear.

Just more thoughts to add to the mix. Thanks for sharing your insight!

Thanks for your two cents.

I keep people I don’t know or trust outside of my Facebook account. And even sometimes people I do know don’t get accepted.

The hard thing with Twitter is that it IS a great tool for business or personal stuff, but it’s difficult to balance two accounts. I admit that I can’t vent about work, family, or clients because of my “open follower” policy and to close it off would impede my purpose for using it. It really is a double edged sword!

You know from our conversations that I have struggled with combining sites – it gets cumbersome keeping up several fronts but then you risk scaring people off from the variety of both aspects of your life.

Technology was supposed to make life easier but at times I think it just makes it more difficult.
