My recommendation, if you are promoting your personal blog or site, use your personal picture. If it is a company you are representing, even if its your company, then use company logo.

I completely agree that by uploading photo, logo etc in to twitter, Gravatar or any other profile one can make an effective conversation with readers or visitors. Not only for conversation even by posting your own photo you can put up a trust on your readers.

Personally I use a picture for all my social profiles. I chose to use a photo because I wanted to put a face next to me and my blog, I didn’t want a faceless blog. I find people are more open to people they see to be real and human.

Although I do see the creative and logo mindset of people and yes it is easier to craft something more unique and memorable than a photo but for me it’s about personal branding not branding my blog.

Interesting to think about though.

That would work, yep. And by all means, if you use 2 accounts, that sounds like a great plan to me. :D

But not everyone uses 2 Twitter accounts (Twice as much time on Twitter? :( ). I use just the one account, and merge it as both business and personal. I don’t think it would be possible to run a successful blog without some degree of personality slipping in there anyway, so it makes sense enough for bloggers at least to stick to 1 account I think. :)

I don’t see why you can’t do both. Have a personal Twitter account where you use your photo and have a Business Twitter account where you use your company logo. I think that’s a much better way and helps to make the line between work and life much clearer.

Thanks for the reply. It’s good to hear back from someone whose actuall made the change from one to the other! :)

What you said about letting down a wall would probably ring true with me as well. There’s quite a bit about myself that I just don’t put online. There’s no real reason not to; it’s just that there’s no real reason *to* do it either.

But if being a bit more open worked so well for you, I suppose it’s at least worth trying. Never know how it might turn out….. hmmmm. Got some thinking to do it seems!
