Ghost-tweeting for non-believers

Nice content, but jeez...couldn't you fix the ratio for web? Blip can do this for you automatically.

Ghost twitter is exactly what I think it is? Dead spirits sending messages?

Well, I guess I've just learned something : I didn't even imagine ghost-tweeting could exist...

How long did Guy Kawasaki have ghost tweeters before we find out about it? Why is Ragan endorsing this practice?

People know that @guykawasaki tweets too much (a state of "twitterrhea"). Following him could be a full-time job. Now we know why.

If I wanted to have a conversation with Annie Colbert, I would follow her on Twitter. Ghost tweeting is misrepresentation of a person or brand and should not be condoned.

I notice that the @GuyKawasaki account no longer offers a disclaimer that this is basically a ghost account, thanks to @guysreplies.

Shouldn't this be a constant?

Here's my rule: if you don't have the time to have your own original thoughts and key in your own 140 characters, stay out of the game.

Take your lumps for being inaccessible (because you probably are) and don't soil the field for people who really value and put effort into a direct connection with their audiences.

If it's a team effort, say so and initial each tweet.

The days of CEOs locked in their ivory towers - doing everything BUT connect directly with their stakeholders - are over.

I am deeply disapointed in this video.

For a real ghost wteeter follow http://twitter.com/Bob_Monkhouse. Bob was a UK comedian who died of Prostrate cancer. A prostrate cancer charity is tweeting in his name.

Massive Fail, GuyKawasaki!
I got duped and have been reading Guy's supposed tweets for about a week now, and was wondering how Guy could be tweeting 24 hours a day (by the time tags). Now I find out that his tweets are just random repostings of links by a paid employee.
I thought I was getting into the mind of a great titan of silicon valley, but it is just another random web browser. I find cool and interesting stuff on my own each day on the web. why do I need her?
Massive fail, Guy Kawasaki,

its like finding out santa claus is fake

I too am a ghost-tweeter. I think of it as a unique way to help a busy CEO connect with his/her target audience. Just another form of communication....and it works!

I've been hearing the arguments for years about the unforgivable sin of ghostwriting someone else's blog or tweets. Still don't understand how that's any less "ethical" than a politician reading a speechwriter's words off a TelePrompTer (especially since we presume everything the politician says is a lie anyway).

In the clip she says its not ethical for celebrities...come on, it's not ethical for anyone. At the very least there should be a disclaimer.

That "Guy" took so long to reveal his "ghost(s)" is unethical, at best.

That this woman does not reveal how much she is paid is another shortcoming.

Look, let's call it for what it is: Spam. I need a shower.

Ain't she tweet?

As I understand the tool, Twitter is meant to be real-time ongoing connections with others in 140 characters. I just don't feel that Mr. Kawasaki having Tweets created by someone other than himself fits that intent.

I follow Seth Godin on Twitter, and while he doesn't engage in Twitter, other than to link you to his daily blog posts, at least those ARE his words, thoughts whatever.

As an earlier commenter said, if I wanted to follow Ms. Colberts Tweets, I would. I'm not interested in following her perspectives on Guy Kawasaki, which is why I don't, and won't ever follow him.

Twitter, especially isn't like a corporate website - it's meant to be real thoughts, from real people, in real time. Using a ghost-tweeter just isn't that, which I think is why so many people have issues with ghost-tweeting.

How very disappointing...
