Comment on Think Before You Push Twitter to Linkedin Status Updates – By Martin Brossman by Katie Colbourne

Hi Amy

apologies for my very long reply – you don’t need a facebook app to tie linked in and twitter together – you just need to alter your linked in settings to configure linked in updates with your twitter if that makes sense?

Facebook app deals with your facebook updates I presume – I was referencing twitter and linked IN only as I use my facebook for more personal updates rather than work related if that makes sense.

Thanks

Katie

Hi Martin,

I am so glad you brought this up! It is obviously a hot button for so many people on Linked In! The answers are great, and most in favor of disconnecting the update push from twitter to LinkedIn.

@Katie Colbourne – What you say is true, BUT people have to ADD that app via Facebook first. It was built as a selective Facebook update took (with #FB) and as far as I know it resides on a FB page for activation and set up. Without that app in place, putting #in on your tweets does nothing.

I completely agree that Tweets are not LinkedIn friendly. Most of communications is knowing your audience, and I don’t need to see some intern’s chatter filling up my Updates*. LinkedIn status updates are more often Twitter friendly. Being able to choose to put messaging on either platform depending on the message, is nice and I do use that function.

*I even messaged someone to take off the function or I’d take them out of my network. Either they did, or they ditched me from theirs, but I’m good with the result.

Hi Martin,

I could not agree more! Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy twitter for many reasons – mostly B2B communications. But, let’s face it – for many people, twitter is a little vent for letting off steam, or a little vehicle that makes us feel like we are being heard, or it makes us feel like people care that we are at the dentist, or on a flight. OR an opportunity to let out the meteorologist in us (I had no idea that so many people want to give weather updates). Why does it seem like this type of tweeter is more inclined to link Twitter to LinkedIn? There are psychological reasons, I’m sure. You and I think this practice is wrong….but are these folks on to something?

Is there something to be said for all these little trite tweets? Do these mind-numbing pieces of data, cluttering up our screen help us keep these folks top of mind when/if we need their services?? Does it “humanize” them, making us develop an affinity for them, and make us want to work with them if given the chance? Or does it make them appear self-important and/or bored, like they have no “real” work to keep them busy? We’ve all seen consultants drop their tweets like a bad habit once they secure a gig.

What do you think?

Kathy Tito

Hi Martin

Good point, but you can link the two up so that Linked IN only updates with your twitter status if you include the hashtag: #in

This means you can still update it manually and avoid the ‘chatter’ that the twitter audience are more accustomed to.

thanks

Fully agree Martin, when I was in the mode of pushing all my Twitter updated to LinkedIn I received two kinds of feedback, the one where people said I was quite busy, the other however was clearly stating that people did not understand it. That made me realize that the two audiences are completely different. So I adjusted my strategy there, decoupling the twitter updates to LinkedIn and Facebook, now only sending updates that make sense for the other platforms and I can tell you feedback improved!
