You guys blew up such a fuse over @SafaricomLtd that were we afraid they were going to stop signing their tweets.Safaricom's twitterer's (someone who updates a corporate twitter account) are anonymous since there is no official reference as to whom they might be.This said,you might as well have been making fun of your dad or friend's initials.
The genesis was one @Gee_Muri who had some problems with texts that he needed sorted out.He decided to #mentionit to @SafaricomLtd,where unfortunately after a number of tweets,an amicable solution was not reached.Safaricom's final word on the handle sounded like a line out of the movies, "Please advise if the same persists as per our call ^SW".
All of a sudden,the Kenyan end of the Twittersphere came alive,ablaze with all kinds of tweeps allegedly trying to conjure all sorts of definitions the two initials could possibly mean.Before the TT finally evaporated,an ignoramus could have sworn that @Gee_Muri (and others) had been called undespicable names which of course we know it's not true.
Its quite popular practice to sign a post(tweet/blog) to identify who posted it.As in the case with @BarackObama ,The president is too busy to tweet on each and every issue,the account is run by a carefully selected team.However,when he does get the time,he is at it like the rest of you.Tweets from the President are signed -BO.We are hoping we will not find a #Barracksinitials TT,trust us ,we do not secret service sneaking on us like @JohnHarunMwau .We are joking,as always ,its never that serious and we hope @SafaricomLtd did not take it to heart (does anyone know if they have one?).The lesson :corporates,social media is a great way to connect with both customers and investors,user queries submitted via social media should not be taken lightly...otherwise,here is our Trend-roundup :
