SPOS #229 – How To Win Friends And Influence People (On Twitter) With Mark W. Schaefer

Welcome to episode #229 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. I don’t think you should follow back everyone on Twitter who decides to follow you. It didn’t seem like a big deal to say it. It turns out it was. Mark W. Schaefer (over at Grow) had a great Blog post titled, Bringing Down The Twitter Snobs, that ran contrary to a post I had published titled, Being A Twitter Snob Is A Good Thing. It’s not the first time we’ve had discourse over a hot topic (in fact, we debated Ghost Blogging right here: SPOS #214 – The Ghost Blogging Debate With Mark W. Schaefer). I like debating Mark. He’s not a Social Media Guru – and you know the kind of "guru" I am talking about. He’s a professional and an educator with real experience and a great perspective on all things Marketing and Communications. As you can tell by the comments on both of our Blog posts, this is a hot topic. We decided to take the gloves off and discuss it, right here. Enjoy the conversation…
