So, you too have heard about Ghost Tweeting and are not quite sure whether it is right or wrong. Well, you are not alone in facing that dilemma. Other users of popular social networking sites, like Twitter, are slowly realizing the fact that the tweets they’ve been reading about assuming were typed by their favorite celebrities are actually the twittering of professional bloggers and forum posters.

Recently, web guru Guy Kawasaki admitted to having multiple people generating the buzz for him and the products and services he promotes and a lot of Twitter members were shocked – some even felt cheated – at the revelation of a top search marketer using an extra hand to update posts for him.

However, Guy is not the only celebrity on Twitter who is employing staffers to update posts for his Twitter account; this is an immensely popular practice employed by several famous people who want to tap the market reach of popular social media platforms, but not all of them are as open as Guy about it.

Detractors may want to form public opinion by declaring such practices as ‘unethical’ since Tweets are meant to be personalized, short message posts to help connect a user with a selective community of followers. However, ghost tweeting as long as the updates are true, have a certain value for the reader and are a by-product of the account holder essentially, it shouldn’t be too much of a big deal to actually suffer disillusionment over, feel rational thinkers.

So, as far as the updates via Tweets reveal something interesting giving the reader value for time, even if it is ghost tweeting, it really shouldn’t be too much of an issue to get your knickers in a knot over, now, would it?

After all, the whole purpose of Internet being made so accessible to the public was to enhance communication even though it was first created as a military interactivity tool, but its potential was enormous for the common public and so a broader range of its applications, including social media platform came into being. Which is why the original intention of the Internet tool should not be a cause for serious contemplation as much as understanding the scope of its applicability should matter for users.

So, as far as ghost tweeting is concerned, what followers expect from a celebrity is news and views they can’t expect to get elsewhere, so why should it matter who handles the update button for Tweets?
