Will I get fired for tweeting about how cute a speaker is?

I've been asked to tweet about my impressions of the speakers from my personal Twitter account, such as if I think a particular speaker is really good or insightful or dynamic or whatever.

But my question is, what if I thought a speaker was just simply adorable, all rugged and perfectly stubbled and dimpled?

I'm not sure whether a tweet expressing this will meet with an approving response. I'm thinking best case response will be Oh never mind - let the youngsters have their fun.

Or actually even better, I knowww, right??

Sadly the reality is likely to be something more along the lines of How dare you besmirch the name of our publication with your juvenile tweets?!

Thankfully I have a blog!

The attempt to post again



A week down and I’ve not had a moment to think about updating the blog. Either that or I don’t have an opinion on too many things. In which case this blog is just a complete waste of space. Or I haven’t gotten the hang of it yet. It’s hard to walk the line between writing a personal journal, and writing something that’s of interest to other people who might read it.

Right now I’m struggling with how much context to provide. Do I write it as a vent saying just what I want, or do I provide background information so that my post reads like a story and then people can make sense of it? And if I do that, do I selectively tell the story, do I embellish to make it more interesting, or delete what occurs to me as superfluous?

What’s an ideal post length? As long as I want to write, or short so people don’t get bored?

How totally meta is this – blogging about blogging?
