How many people do you know tweet naked?
Oh come on now, it’s not what it sounds like. Even though, I am pretty convinced that behind those little pixelated avatars that many of you are what I would like to call “Winnie The Pooh” sans pants while you are tweeting.
Tweeting naked is not about the lack of clothes, it’s about one’s ability to be able to communicate with other people on twitter without limits.
People who “tweet naked” are free-spirits who take a no-holds barred approach to twitter. They don’t sell you pitches or talk about sandwiches, they tell you like it really is and they show who they really are… no, if ands or butts about it.
Some of my favorite people who “Tweet Naked” are….
@unmarketing- Anyone who shares with me that “I was in a band with long hair” picture from the 80′s has nothing to hide.
@thebloggess- The Bloggess probably does actually tweet naked…. wearing rollers in her hair. She’s certainly the queen of “Naked Tweeting”, you can’t get any more honest. Maybe at a truck stop, and don’t invite William Shatner.
@clintcatalyst- Clint Catalyst, if you need any more proof of why he’s on this list… check out his book Cottonmouth Kisses
@mia- She’s a stick of dynamite that keeps me laughing while kicking ass and taking names. Nobody puts Mia Von Doom in the corner.
Remember, that twitter isn’t a scary place. Just be yourself, if not…imagine everyone in their underwear.

I would suggest that tweeting naked is also about having a good indoor heating system.

Great title, even better point! Heading to Keys/Miami/Orlando for holidays – maybe it's easier to tweet naked there? Too cold up here in CT.
To push your metaphor, I think tweet naked might work with MICROmarketing: my thoughts on why small is the new big.http://www.ripple100.com/blog/2009/11/micro-marke...

I've written about something similar. I call this "showing some skin" and being 3D. Loving the fact that being transparent & human is now expected in online communications. Cheers.

Yes! It's so important to stay true to yourself. I have met so many people that tend to overly censor or not be their true selves online. Then when you meet them in person it's very hard to connect. :) Love the beard! :)

There’s been plenty of ‘naked’ tweeting done between my online friends and I as some of us have been ‘talking’ online for over 10 years..the other night @dannylohner former bassist for Nine Inch Nails shared a pic of his mom and he dancing..he recently lost her..we all cried..yes we ‘tweet naked’.

This is exactly the kind of bullshit that tweet naked is against I think. You come here, vomit the usual "Great title, blah blah" and then pitch a link to some obscure article you wrote. What a fail man! Get naked will ya?

Love this. Like @Japman_Bajaj, I like to think that I Tweet (and do everything, honestly) naked. When I try to explain why I like Twitter to folks who don't "get it", the authenticity and, sometimes, banality is what I try to convey. I love the relevant linkage and blog posts people share, but what I like best is people being themselves and just sharing their lives. When done right, it puts everyone on the same playing field and makes anyone approachable.

I tweet naked sometimes…Other times, I try to curb it because well, you never know who reads the internet!

I'm guessing tweeting in a skirt doesn't count as tweeting naked
