I believe that twitter account should possess human traits. The 2nd and the 3rd approaches are mostly like a company press release within 140 characters. And it seems to me that approaches are a bit out-of-date now…

As a general rule of thumb – be geniune. If you are selling stuff – say so in your profile.

Equally if you are using Twitter as a "newswire" where corporate blogs and news update links via RSS, it is best not to try and combine the same Twitter for a more personal strategy. I think that this is a trust thing where people want to engage individuals rather than brands in most cases.

How'd you like the Palazzo? I'm assuming they track Vegas mentions and offer deals like mad crazy.

You know who loves twitter, VEGAS. OMG! I went to Vegas last month and I still get @r34lRockNRolla replies about vegas deals. I stayed at the Palazzo and they have a twitter and someone @ replied me to enjoy my stay. The upside of all of this, getting random Vegas deals from Twitter isn't so bad.

I had your Comcast experience with Charter. Problem was picked up, handled efficiently, and resolved quickly.

Haha, that's a good one. I love me a good rant. I agree with you–it's really frustrating to have someone try to do something because it's the "in" thing to do right now but have severe limitations due to lack of resources, legal roadblocks, etc. It's like I said: do it right or don't do it at all.
