It is a delicate balance, especially since not every PR pro “gets” what we are doing on here.

Your points outlining why it's important for us to spend critical–and billable–time online are excellent.

I like to say that publicists are network nodes, meaning we are supposed to be the most plugged-in of anyone…and Twitter time is increasingly important to achieving that goal.

I taught an internal company seminar called “Living the Plugged-In Life” a few weeks back. It really is a lifestyle, not something you turn off and on.

If we learn how to use the technology, we can help our clients get the most out of it…and you can't understand it if you don't use it!

While several coworkers (and my wife) say I spend too much time on Twitter, the connections I've made personally and professionally, and the real, tagible results for clients, are well-worth the investment.

It seems too difficult and kind of pointless. You just need to know how to censor yourself because you are representing the company you work for as well as yourself. Having two accounts just creates a disconnect and kind of ruins the transparency of social media. Yeah, I don't really understand having two Twitter accounts.

I never swear and I seriously consider “this will be in Internet land forever” when tweeting. Not everyone remains professional and sometimes I can get goofy (please see: Baby Katie). I’d prefer to only have one account representing myself and my professional input. Otherwise, I bet it can get complicated. Some do though – and some carry it well. I definitely censor myself.
