Maybe this is some grand Guy plan. Or Guy, after all his success, is certifiably nuts. Or bored. Or has run out of creativity. Or has regressed to the age of 12. Your pick.

That is SUCH a weird co-incidence, especially as you wrote this in June. I have only just this afternoon finally decided to stop following Guy Kawasaki after becoming unbearably bored with the kind of tweets you talk about in your post. I just couldn’t take the inanity of it any longer. Waiting, waiting, waiting for some pearl of wisdom that would shine a light on the reasons for his success. And then…a tweet about how to make carrot cake without using carrots. Sigh.

[...] you trust Guy Kawasaki? Perhaps. But when you find out he has a team of people tweeting on his behalf, your trust in him is likely diminished. He has influence, but not as much trust as some. Do you [...]

@Flor — Thanks for the clarification. I have received several offline comments, as well as online, that criticized the article and didn’t understand my humor. Oh well. As I said, humor is difficult!

I appreciate your support and also want to thank you for being my newest Twitter follower! Thank you!

Has Guy hurt or helped his “true” brand (tech startup wizard) with his tweeting? Or has he created another more powerful one? Do we really understand his objectives behind this latest tweeting project? Did he meet them?

@mark: on your comment (“Humor can be difficult, especially across cultures or if you’re new to the blog”) I got the mood of the post and in case i havent, the picniked photo is pretty obvious about the tone. the thing is that after i started to read the comments i discovered anger in some words and i tought that is very sad to feel angry about something or someone who can be easily erased from your life.
I never tought about YOU as a hater but some of the post express bitterness.

And we do call some people “devil” in the same humorous way you call Guy in this post. Is just a funny adjective here too.

Hahah… EL DIABLO!

I want to be clear that this post was meant to be humorous. I respect and like Guy and have even bought his books : )

I would never seriously call somebody a “devil.” Humor can be difficult, especially across cultures or if you’re new to the blog. Although I normally write about social media and marketing, most Fridays I try to post something light-hearted.

In any event I appreciate that Guy supported this in a good-natured way and that most people seemed to have enjoyed a blog post that was meant to be entertaining.

Look what Guy has done, getting us all in a tizzy. Devilish I tell ya. Can’t wait to see what Guy (or his brood – who cares) will tweet next. Enjoy the content people, that’s what it’s all about
