So, in order to be a good social media marketer, in my opinion, you should understand the tools you’re using and the communities to which you are marketing, be they ones that surround the tool itself (Twitter users) or subject matters within a certain tool (FriendFeed room about, say, cell phones.).

Social Media is More than Just Twitter and Facebook Hopefully, if you’re participating in social media marketing, you’re using more than just the tools everyone else is using. However, you need to articulate to your client or marketing teams that social media is not just about participating on Twitter and Facebook.

Twitter Following a user and then unfollowing them before they have a chance to follow back. Consistently using your Twitter stream for nothing but self-promotion and ego. This is much more bothersome when the request comes via IM or email and not on Twitter itself. Twitter is also about real relationships.

Based on your email address and Twitter info, your name is shared by millions of people so I don’t see why you couldn’t do so here. It’s overkill.
