Hi Egbert,

thanks for joining the talk. Well, I can somehow understand the intention – to get more followers and spread the word about Myngle – but the way is absolutely wrong!

I mean you have a marketing manager on Myngle who should be responsible for your strategy, right? And I suppose you pay this person to do a good job. As Shelly pointed out you can easily destroy your reputation you build up over weeks and months by just on tweet. The internet does not forget.

Just make sure you or your responsible manager uses this tool right. Mashable.com just released a great Twitter guide, worth reading it.
