I definitely will go on to tweet in different languages! @Stephanie: Yes, the tools should adjust to the competence of the users nit the other way around. @Sante: Is there something like a should be rate of increasing follower numbers on twitter? I prefer to develop organically instead of pushing followers and rankings. And @Andrea: I totally agree with you: tweeting in many languages shows your competence and professionality!

No. Vice versa the ranking position is a consequence of your success. - And will search engines always stick with the language definitions used now? The more people we have online the more this topic will become 'hot'. I guess that there will be an evolution. - Will we grow out of our google-position one day? I really hope so! :) Andrea P.S. Tweet in many languages as you want. I do it. I actually think that it's a plus being able to manage the conversation in multiple languages at both personal and professional level. - Is success defined by ranking positions?

P.S. Tweet in many languages as you want. I do it. I actually think that it’s a plus being able to manage the conversation in multiple languages at both personal and professional level.

Now coming to Twitter, I use it on and off as well and mix my tweets and there again there are no problems - the number of followers continues to increase at a slower rate that I would like, but that is mainly due to the fact that I simply do not tweet enough. Hi Annette,
I am a bilingual blogger and have been “mixing” my efforts across languages now for years and there have been no problems whatsoever – especially when it comes to blogging – I had a special plugin made to help organize my content that is working very nicely and many other fellow bloggers have installed in onto their WordPress Blogs.

Now coming to Twitter, I use it on and off as well and mix my tweets and there again there are no problems – the number of followers continues to increase at a slower rate that I would like, but that is mainly due to the fact that I simply do not tweet enough.

Tweet in all your languages -- and tools like Twitter should at some point integrate better language management: - language detection (easy, even on 140 chars, if you know my tweets are either en or fr) - language preferences (show me tweets in these languages, show me tweets in all languages, don't show me tweets I don't understand) Seesmic does this quite well. And I agree with your "apart from that". Ranking is supposed to reflect your success, not define it. Well, you know what I think!
