There are many questions about how to get people follow you on Twitter. Many persons also bumped into the tight spot of which name to use for their twitter account. Choices are often between their name and their business name. Twitter, as the way it works is that people choose to follow you based on the messages or “tweets” you send out. You, in turn, can follow other Twitterers. The key is to find interesting people to follow. The more interesting your tweets are the more people will want to follow you.

Many people are being confused in making their account because they cannot decide whether to use their name or their business name. This should not be the issue because people follow you because of your tweets and not because of your name. You, in return should also follow the tweets which interest you.

I am just back from DigitalHollywood show. There was one question I heard more loudly than any other no matter which session I attended; “How do we monetize content?” The question now takes on an urgent tone as more and more traditional media struggle to answer that question before it’s too late.

I have been interested in the field of expertise location for over a decade, from back when knowledge managers were building ‘corporate yellow pages’ and other tools to find the best expertise in the organization.
