I'm a big fan of transparency and "no spin" so I like the humanization approach behind a brand. Our team at Molson has tended to evolve on twitter as individuals at Molson...with various responsibilities and conversations in which we will engage. As we evolve with twitter it will be fascinating to see how brands will enter this space. There are lots of examples where brands are logos in the avatar and and individual speaks for the brand. There are also examples of teams behind a brand. At the end of the day I suppose its all about what the brand wants to represent and "be" on twitter. Better than that is how and why people will interact with that brand. Always worth trying...if no one is following its a pretty good indicator you missed the mark...if lots are following people must be intrigued...and the debate rolls on...cheers @MolsonFerg love this conversation…and so many opporutnities.

Pierre-Loic - Thanks for the feedback, and I agree that sometimes we have to invent our own ways to accomplish something on Twitter. I'd love to see some way to expand the profile though... I know that the whole "kitsch" of it all is "short short short" but wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow show a link between company Twitter accounts, or something like that? *shrug* Listorbit – you can, but not all at the same time.

At the end of the day, I think it has to do with transparency with your audience. As long as the author of a specific post is identified and the post is relevant to the feed where it is published, there shouldn't be any issue, very much like a blog with multiple editors. Twitter doesn't provide this functionality, so we had to build it :) Great post Lara.

Have an aggregation account say widgetz which is monitoring the twitter stream for mentions of your products and services, the owner of this account could then be responsible to route the message into the correct department i.e. widgetz_customerservice and to inform the tweepl talking about yoru service that this twitter user will be in touch soon to discuss their concerns/ideas in more details Can I add something recarding routing information into your multiple company Twitter users.

Keep up the great work. Nate - Would you follow a person who was a rep for their business on Twitter, though? Most people tweet about their work and such, so is it different for you if it's John Doe from Widgetz versus just John Doe? I'm curious...

We have SO many product lines, services, and departments that one account cannot capture the variety our business offers. Our CEO,<a href="http://www.twitter.com/thomrainer" rel="nofollow"> Thom Rainer</a> is 'real' on Twitter. We have several other accounts, which I've listed on my personal blog - http://www.threeparts.com/official-lifeway-twitter-accounts. For accounts that aren't self-descriptive, I added a line next the username so people can figure it out. Hopefully we'll have a place for this on http://www.lifeway.com soon.
