They call us Orange after our skin colour in the sun. It's pronounced 'SOM!' a little quickly and the plaintively or rising intonation. I had to get that off my chest Asi ;) The Thais have a slang for Westerners. They call us Orange after our skin colour in the sun.

Don't feel compelled to follow everyone who follows you (trust me) Add a few people to your mobile updates. Twitter is much, much different on a mobile phone than on the web. It's much more intimate and feels quite personal, so be selective. I like Andy's advice about not thinking about it too much. Just have fun with it, and don't overcook it. Twitter while intoxicated. It makes for a great read the next day. Use the Direct Message feature when carrying on a prolonged personal conversation. Personal tweets that go back and forth forever are irritating to everyone else! That's it for now Asi :) Take this all with a grain of salt my man ;)

The larger point of my recent post was less about how effective or genuine the efforts is from these brands and more about how there does to seem to be a desire for this kind of direct connection. Time will tell if it ends up a something more than PR. I hope so, but good point about being cautious. PS, Am I a blogger, twitterer, marketer or designer. I forget. :-) Good point about easy PR Asi.

I'm supporting you by waving my fist in the air in a very futile, British way. You're absolutely right about the cynicism of these companies. Virgin especially. Now that their crack team of online eavesdroppers have fixed the one big problem for me, I'm having difficulty dealing with their dreadful CS team in an attempt to solve another problem. Bah! Preach it Asi!

Having access to a larger circle of very smart people gives you great opportunity to give and receive insights, questions, etc. Your reason for “caving” in and joining Twitter is one of the reasons I listed in my most recent blog post about five ways Twitter will make you smarter.

I think the secret is to not think about it, which I fail to do. When I think, I don't post, because it still seems weird. I think about the fact that I don't text my friends enough and that here I am 'texting' the ether to tell 'someone' something they probably don't want to know. Don't think, just tweet.
