Not a good idea for corporates to jump in without brushing up on their knowledge (or, as your post suggests, and as I agree, their common sense).

Things like coComment and multiple-account managing desktop Twitter clients are leading to more of this sort of nonsense. But I'm not sure it matters so much. I've done a little research (not very much, admittedly, and non-representative at that) into duplication among Twitter networks; realistically, the way our networks are set up, we should expect to see multiple copies of messages <i>all the time</i>, and not just when some muppet is broadcasting on all frequencies. So -- does it really matter what they're doing? There's so much redundancy and noise in this channel that the only solution is to limit one's subscriptions. Ooh -- but there's an opportunity for a time-delay service, isn't there? Something like Channel 4+1 - where I tweet, something, and then an hour later, my company account retweets it so that I can reach a fresh audience... Yep.
