Twitter profiles for charities: personal or corporate or careful
balance?
• corporate branding• almost entirely work-related• but personal, informal tone• named person
• corporate branding• no personalisation• mix of tones
• personal picture and profile name• mostly work-related but also some personal updates
? What are the pros and cons of each approach?

“For the last fifty years the two most important communications media in most people's lives were the telephone and television: different media with different functions.“It turns out that the difference between conversational tools and broadcast tools was arbitrary, but the difference between conversing and broadcasting is real.”

Automatically publish news feeds
Use TwitterFeed to push feeds to your Twitter stream• I use a combination of Yahoo! Pipes and TwitterFeed (
http://twitterfeed.com), but TwitterFeed itself allows multiple feeds with custom text at the front of each tweet.
BUT (& these are things I need to remember too!)• Be careful not to bombard people with automated tweets • Make sure to mix in real live tweeting as well• Don’t forget that the power of Twitter is in the interactions, not the
self-promotion

Use TweetDeck – you can set up a column with a search term to show all tweets that mention that term.
Useful for following discussions on a particular subject such as mentions of your organization's name or area of work.

What is twitter overkill?As an organisation with so much to potentially twitter about, where do
you draw the line?
And who is responsible for twittering? One person? One
department? Many departments?Ed Walker, web & digital marketing co-ordinator,

• Twitter has allowed the facebook Third Sector and Communications Network to make real-time announcements, link to articles and signpost charity PRO’s to helpful resources.
• This kind of info can become ‘spam’ on facebook if constantly emailed to members – or simply get lost on the group ‘wall’. But these conversational updates suit ‘tweets’ perfectly.
• Twitter has also driven up members of the facebook group – supporting more people. Results all round!
