What the Klout

Tweeting during your performance review to keep your Klout score up is very important if you want to continue receiving free water.



Working as an internet marketing/social media "professional" is a little interesting. At some point, as more and more internet services start to require you to login with Facebook, etc, the lines between your "personal brand" and your employer's brand start to get muddled. Which is not a good thing if they don't mesh. And, I guess, it also runs the risk of disrupting your flow of free water if you have to spend all your time tweeting for them instead.

Yo don't you mess with my payola
Or my big bar of granola
Cuz I might hafta wreck your face
With a green Crayola

The ad:

OMG HAX

Toilet mug. Betcha thought that was niche. Guess not.

Brand Extensions

They don't always make sense, you know, and social media isn't always the right place to flaunt them.
