Linkedin Twitter Facebook rss Home About Services & Packages Contact Recommendations Resources The Job Quest Helping You Reach Your Job Search and Career Goals Don't Follow in Twitter's Footsteps with Your Personal Brand Posted by Melissa on | June 8, 2010 | 1 Comment I ran across an annual list of banished words that is put out by Lake Superior State University in Michigan. Here’s one of the words, along with comments: TWEET And all of its variations…tweetaholic, retweet, twitterhea, twitterature, twittersphere… “People tweet and retweet and I just heard the word ‘tweet’ so many times it lost all meaning.” – Ricardo, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Mikhail Swift of Hillman, Mich. says the tweeting is “pointless…yet has somehow managed to take the nation by storm. I’m tired of hearing about celebrity X’s new tweet, and how great of a tweeter he or she is.&# “I don’t know a single non-celebrity who actually uses it,&# says Alex Thompson of Sault St. Marie, Mich. Jay Brazier of Williamston, Mich. says she supposes that tweeters might be “twits.&# While the list definitely has a humorous tone, there is a hint of truth to it. I have to admit, I came to Twitter in 2009 reluctantly. The biggest turn-off for me was what I refer to as the “McDonaldization&# of it. You know — McDonalds has McEverything. Twitter and some of the related applications have added “tw-,&# “twitter-,&# and “tweet-&# ad nauseum to create new words (twords?) Just to name a few: you’ve got tweeple, tweeps, tweethearts, the twitterverse, Twellow and Twitr (directories for Twitter), Tweepular, and (help me, but I feel like Elmer Fudd even just typing this) Twibes. With just the terminology — that cursory amount of information — I had written Twitter off as meaningless fluff when I first heard of it. And could you blame me? It all sounded so…stupid. I’m not the only one who has questioned the usefulness of a tool that has everyone talking like they have a lisp. Little did I know that there was significant power in this social media tool. I wish I had known about it sooner. If it had been branded better, I’m certain I would have gotten on board much earlier. Now think about your own brand. OK, so I’m sure you not so crazy as to use part of your name to describe your skills and accomplishments. But are you positive that you are being seen the way you want to be seen? While you may have in mind what you want your message to be and how you want to be perceived , it’s ultimately not about what you think — it’s about what others (e.g. key decision-makers) think. And if others aren’t understanding your personal brand and all the great things you can bring to the table, they’re not going to buy into it. They’re not going to buy into YOU. So sit down and take a good objective look at everything you are doing related to your personal brand. What does it say? Would you buy into it?

I really like people from Michigan State. Seems like they're more humble than people from Michigan (or whatever your pick is out of the 10,000 versions of this in play in America). It's human nature.
