I don’t see the point of ghost tweeting. Why ghost tweet when you can just schedule tweets for time sensitive situations? Takes a few minutes a day, and saves you money from hiring a ghost tweeter.

I can always tell who ghost tweets by the amount of Twitter clients they use during a small timeframe. And yes, it makes me think less of them.

Ghost tweeting is deceptive and undermines the very relationship aspect of social media that makes social media so popular. I could very easily justify delegating my tweets to my office staff; I see patients full time during the work day and run my medical office, but I tweet when I can and don't when I can't. I like to take a 2 minute break, watch the tweet feed and chime in- then back to work. Having my staff act like me, under my name feels wrong on so many levels. If I wanted to assign staff to the task I would do so under a business name, not my name so that it's clear that tweets come from a team, not me personally. I've just started participating in social media and blogging, and there is a community aspect to it. Honesty is important.
