Thanks, Doug.

Good point about corporate management. For what it’s worth, nearly 30% of respondents to the Forrester survey were VP/senior managers and C-level execs. And 70% of the C-level found out about the survey via Twitter

I can see that. I probably use it too much just to see what reaction I get (see my recent post about checking in from PT and the gym). But part of my job is trying to figure out what works.

On the other hand, if we are afraid of getting distracting and minimally useful Tweets in our stream, then we are back to Stage 1 (Fear of the Twitter)

Personally, I find the armada of Foursquare updates in my tweet stream to be distracting and minimally useful to me personally. That’s one reason I disabled any connection between my Foursquare and Twitter or Facebook accounts.

Of course, doing that somewhat defeats the purpose of Foursquare. It almost seems like Foursquare is asking people to make a choice: in order to maximize the service, they have to willingly annoy their acquaintances.

There must be a better way.
