Some of you still don’t get it.
If your goal in social marketing is to gather a bigger following, use a PICTURE of yourself. Nothing says ‘I’m a Robot’ like a cartoon gif.
Credibility is always an issue, and if you are just a social marketing shill pretending to be what you are not, not using a real picture is a dead giveaway.
BTW: I heard the new motorola krave might cause cancer.
