Very glad you are coming to the Writer’s Group on Tuesday the 1st of June and was wondering if I might have the honor of reprinting this article as a guest post on my blog and adding my “nickel” as the prologue.

A nice post indeed, and you raise many good points that I agree with and my personal philosophy about using Social Media Channels: Facebook, Biznik, LinkedIn, Twitter and the myriad of other online tribes/communities one can find (if they look) is that ideally we are being positive, in contribution, at the very least neutral, and cultivating a congruency between whom people read, whom people talk to and whom people may even meet face to face.

After all the years of writing and speaking and being me, I believe that whom you experience is pretty consistent at the Core. And the Core is the Key in a brand be it a corporate or personal brand or persona.

Persona being in Latin “a mask” and that being said what if choose transparency. Not transparency about everything, but being known for being fundamentally my core values. I ask my clients, and those who are part of the Writer’s Support Group I began for Me, MySelf and Others the following question: What do want to be remembered for? What qualities?

I let the answer to that question drive every comment, addition of a post or piece I write that is not fictional. Works for me!

May I “reprint” you please at my blog?

Thank you for this post! Thought Provoking Indeed

You mean, there was once a time when you felt this way? Loved your blog, love the deep mythology. I still feel like a lone tweeter, lol. I tweet, but no one responds half the time. But I just logged onto Twitter not long ago, so I’ll give it some time and hope I adjust.

This a very well written post and the former Marine in me found a great deal of humor in your tweaking of the Rifleman’s Creed. In managing my own online reputation I took an inverse approach where I was blogging and on professional forums before Twitter. Twitter is a valuable tool, but as you so eloquently put it a lot of context can be lost when you only have 140 characters. I know that I have experienced this with my own tweets first hand as the person reading them projects their emotional state onto them not knowing your true intent. Great Job!
