No, I still believe that a personal brand behind a company is such a
huge asset. I think having me tweet about my personal brand under the
company twitter handle was a little too confusing for most people. We
will see though...

Does this go against your Personal Brand / Company Brand post? ;-)

Are you on dial-up? hahaha JK... That is weird, it doesn't stop once
it starts for me. We are starting to distribute all my videos on all
the other video networks, should be up and running by Monday. Thanks
for the feedback though, greatly appreciated!

Great question... I still believe tying someone's personal brand to a
company brand has its advantages and should be done more often, Donald
Trump, Richard Branson etc. I am still the person behind Tatango, it
was just getting confusing for me to be tweeting "personal" updates
when the @tatango account should really be solely about the company.
Also, we will be announcing something in the first week of August that
will also play into what we are currently doing with the twitter name
change.

I did use twitpic for awhile, but it's so hard to update everything at
the same time. I like on Facebook how I am able to show the picture
not just link to it. I will try a little harder though to incorporate
more pics, thanks for letting me know.

I might be very stupid of saying this because you may already be all over this, but if not, you should really get on TwitPic, it is awesome. Its a lot easier then face book uploads, plus if you have your twitter linked to your facebook, it puts a link with a the caption as your facebook status. Tweet's are only 140 characters and they say a picture is worth a thousands words, so now tweets are 1,140 words!!! you can see some twitpic usage at www.twitter.com/jamespullman

I think that's the right move. Seems like you were really into combining the personal / corporate brand: http://thederekjohnson.com/...

What made you change your mind?

You should try using a video service that doesn't suck. You know, one of the many that doesn't pause to buffer every 30 seconds.

I was thinking about #killit but @garyvee might start to get frightened.

That's only because you haven't started adding #crushit to all your tweets! :)
