As most of you know I have done freelance SEO for a long time and just recently started a Denver/Boulder SEO company of my very own. It’s going really well and I’m trying my hardest to make time and write on both blogs all while working a 40-hour agency job and then spending the rest of my time working on building a new company.
That said I started a Twitter account for my new company @10kthings (I’m @Wingnut by the way).
Before I started the company Twitter account it I asked my follwers to see if everyone thought it was a good/bad/lame idea or not - the resounding answer was DO IT. So far it’s been a great idea. I really can’t be more happy with it (well, I wish my partners would use it more… but they started to today) With me and 4 other people tweeting (using it the real way and not just shameless self promotion) it’s been fun. We have a few followers and it’s just nice to know that we have the support out there. For all the time it takes chatting with people - it’s all well worth it. It keeps us motivated knowing that there are people watching what we are up to and willing to help support us.
All and all starting a Twitter account for your company is a GOOD THING. It opens your company up to a whole new range of being social and lets you know that there are people out there that actually do care and wish you the best…. It also it’s awesome free advertising and public relations!

Stu, thanks for reading
With the company twitter account I have multiple people using it so it’s not a problem. Even if I did not have that going I have has multiple screen names at other social media sites before and it’s not too hard to have multiple personalities with each.
Twitter is slightly different because it all happens so much more quickly… I have yet to talk to myself on twitter ![]()

Twitter is slightly different because it all happens so much more quickly…Don’t you get confused by using both at a time……….I wonder.

Dave,
Sweet post.
How do you find managing the thought processes for two Twitters? I mean, if you’re using both to establish identity, does it get confusing?
