I met James Craven (@CravenTravels) for the first time at TBCamp2011. A very nice guy with whom I tweet already some time and whom I very much liked to meet IRL (In Real Life) while the time was too short to talk shop a bit more.
Does he look like his Avatar? Just Look at this Twilk Wall (and click on the image if it is too small for your old eyes):
You probably see what I mean.
- James is a very nice bloke, but I like to meet him, not the two kids he is on the photo with.
- Also nice is that the avatar shows James is conscious of poppy day…however on the wall the poppy is almost as big as his head.
- It seems to me the photo used for his avatar is not very recent.
- If you study the Twilk wall, you also see that if you want to use a portrait, make it discernible on such wall, much more a close up.
- Now especially James: He is a sales person and should know the first impression can kill any deal….I ask you…
My 2 cents
Update:
As a sequel to TBCamp 11 Darren wondered whether Social Media are killing discussions on blogs. Sure they do, but you can cut and paste the answers in the post….
