So I don't dig specially here. We met 20+ companies in two days... 2) I'm just one out of 12+ TGs. So my feedback is individual, not that from a group. Other feedback may follow on. Particularly if you had 1/1s with some of the TGs after your presentation. 3) I do care about the way companies communicate and market themselves. It's explaining half of successes or failures. You have to be prepared to be challenged here and not just with your products. 1) I’m not a specialist of games. So I don’t dig specially here. We met 20+ companies in two days…

You know that it can't be our focus! In video games industry, forums, websites, youtube & Facebook are more important than Twitter. And also, we didn't know that traveling geeks were here to discuss about our communication strategy. I see, don’t worry :)

I didn't say anything bad about your company. Your demo was fine. Shit, how susceptible you are folks! Get over it! Btw, I corrected my point since you have a Twitter account.

Or not. It's not that simplistic. It's about your communication and the image you want to create for your company. You can also chose to have both: contact@company.com for general inquiries, and real emails for CEO, PR person, partnerships, etc. It also depends on the values you want to convey: approachable, open, transparent.

Business guys are not that shy.. This remind me of the old "goto considered harmful" meme, while there is some truth behind it, I don't think we should follow all those "simplistic" rules..

Anonymizing the company behind "contact@company.com" is usually not a good practice. There are obviously cons to do that (real emails in about pages), but they're offset by the pros. I corrected your company name with lower caps. It shows that the company has real people behind it, makes it easier to get in touch with you as CEO.

About Twitter, well, we're using this tool, but not much, it's not really relevant in our case. Hi, I’m the CEO of int13 (lower case)

About Twitter, well, we’re using this tool, but not much, it’s not really relevant in our case.
