Social media in general, is just another name for mass marketing. There is no human face on a brand, and there never will be.
Like all social media sites, twitter is fast becoming a global marketing stage for everyone or anyone who wants to tell the world about their next up coming product, or how well their business is doing. I remember the days when blogs where the mass way to get your business out there, now it’s twitter, tomorrow who knows maybe some money driven smart guy or gal is working on that right.

We can argue this all day long but if John Smith from XYZ tries to connect with someone and engage in conversation many don’t care to talk to John Smith, they want to talk to XYZ so it really works both ways.

Brilliant post and terrific insights. I too see the “humanity in Twitter. After all, isn’t social marketing all about the human factor, i.e. feelings, connecting with someone and his/her ideas, building relationships ,etc. Some think technology is isolating. I don’t! I see it as empowering and connecting us if it is used properly.

Brands are people too! Clients/ customers of companies like Dell and Apple often forget that the brand couldn’t exist without the people behind it. The company’s personality, values, and customer service skills are all related to the people behind the ‘mistake’. There needs to be room for forgiveness, but only to a certain extent, for brands and individuals.

You beat me to the punch on my next blog post. I absolutely agree that Twitter brings HUMANS back to a corporation. I am so glad you see Twitter this way! (Retweeting this article)

Hi Michael,

When it’s all said and done, no one will remember anything except the way they feel…Feelings is what makes us all human and connected.

Thank you for a great post and it was a pleasure saying hello.

Best Always,
Henie

For as simple and uncomplicated a twitter post is, I find twitter offers a lot of humanity. After all if you are a good marketer you’ll know that being human and building relationships is what it’s all about. Great post Michael!

Dominic — thanks for the comment. If you are interested in the company, we have several “corporate twitter accounts” that provide information you are looking for.

@intelces
@IntelSoftware
@intelblogs

I am sure there are more. We were thinking about creating a page on Intel.com that outlines all the twitter profiles.

I appreciate your comments.
