Wachovia officially certified as company that “gets” Twitter
September 11th, 2008 |
I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking and writing about guidelines for corporate participation on Twitter. (See this and this.)
Today I was downright thrilled to see that Wachovia followed one of my suggestions: add your social network affiliations to your corporate web site “contacts” or “news” page so consumers can verify that your presence is officially sanctioned.
Here’s what it looks like:
Congratulations also to Wachovia for expressing in fewer than 140 characters, in the space of a banner ad in fact, the value Twitter has. “Get updates via web or cell phone.” (Banner copy writing may be the best career experience for concise tweeting.)

I wonder if “officially sanctioned” will translate to “A marketing intern, spewing 140 character ads for new products”
It’s definitely nice to see the big slow companies getting on board with these mediums, i just hope it’s authentic and not “just another venue to pitch”
