If you plan on using Twitter strictly for business (with the usual caveats about public communications in accordance with company policy) then using your corporate email address imo is quite alright. In other words, if you are tweeting with customers or to be viewed as a subject matter expert in your business space, then using your corporate identity is perfect. If you strictly tweet personally, then use your personal email. Now the sticky part is tweeting for both personal and for business. IMO, I believe that what truly matters is building relationships - personal and business - and I believe that showing a personal side and a business side while using your corporate email helps to build and foster a better business relationship. Maybe you find someone in your business sphere that has similar interests (e.g. running, sailing, photography, hiking, whatever). Again, the usual caveats about commenting on a public forum. Hope this helps. Great question Rob.

Thanks. What's your view on employees using their corporate email address for twittering? It's an interesting world of overlap between personal and private. Hi Peter,
Very helpful. Thanks. What’s your view on employees using their corporate email address for twittering? It’s an interesting world of overlap between personal and private.
