One should be discriminating with followers. I personally operate the policy of not following 'automated' followers. I follow those whom I believe I can learn from and contribute to.

Twitter is all about connecting. I follow the people who I care about hearing from. If you care about hearing from me, follow me and I'll be flattered. But there is no obligation if I follow you that you should follow me back nor vice versa.

If you have more than brand, then for sure you have to use different avatars through out the materials of each brand! And regarding the Scheme, I already got my colors from there :D hehehe thanks anyways Thanks everyone for the comments!

One suggestion regarding tip #2 (unify your avatar): Like many people, I have more than one brand and Twitter account (@bloggingbistro for business; @adoptionexpert for ministry). Because I have very little overlap in readership, I use different avatars for each brand. But I keep the avatar consistent across all marketing materials for each brand. So, for instance, "Laura in pink blouse" is my avatar for my Blogging Bistro Web site, Twitter account, Facebook page, and anything else associated with my business. "Laura in blue jacket" is in all avatars associated with my "adoption" brand. Also, if you're color-scheme challenged (like I am), I recommend checking out the color scheme gallery at http://www.colorschemer.com. They have thousands of schemes to choose from for free, and if you hover your mouse over a particular color swatch, it shows you the color code. You can copy and paste the codes in as your Twitter background colors. Works like a charm, and makes your profile page look more professional. Good stuff, Firas.

Always show the human side of you in tweets. Branding start from you so people like to know you before your tweets. Good Post.

I change my FB avatar around a good bit but my Twitter one always stays the same. It hadn't occurred to me that it might be confusing. Thanks for the advice as always!
