If social media is about being social, why do some people NOT put their name on their bio? Often I get frustrated when I can’t address someone by their first name because it doesn’t exist! I thought it was just me being picky .. but I knew I wasn’t the only one when I attended a recent networking event.
Three of us were tweeting leading up to the event, I knew both of them – but they didn’t know each other. One of them did not have her name on her profile
The other one did
I didn’t know this at the time or I would have introduced them – instead it was slightly uncomfortable when one of them had to ask the other one’s name (if you can follow…)
The main lesson here is include your name on your bio so that others can address you by first name – both on Twitter AND in person!
Happy Tweeting
