How to introduce someone with style?

by Roger

OK so not quite as dramatic as the title suggest but hey I’m a crap writer and had to use something from Copyblogger…

This morning I saw a tweet from @scottgould

I wonder when people will start having guest tweets?

So I replied and Scott sent the first (yeah I’m sure it’s not but hey!) Guest tweet from my account…

Guest Tweet from @scottgould: This is the first Guest Tweet in the world. It’s like texting on someone else’s phone, but with permission!

To be honest it was just a bit of fun but caught a negative reaction.

Now there are a few things I can think of in favor of something like this but for the life of me I can’t think of any negatives? Can you?

Yes guest tweets caught be bought and exchanged but we already have that.

Instead of the negatives think of some positives;

  • a #followfriday introduction from the person you want to introduce….
  • a link to an event from the organizer instead of a retweet
  • a new book launch from the Author themselves

And many more…

I thought of it as this:

Lets say Scott is at #likeminds next year and he spies someone in the audience, he wants to introduce you to that person, would he say a few sentences and then move on or might he ask that person to the stage to say a few words and pass over the mic?
