As professionals, both military and civilian, are looking for additional ways to network, share ideas and resources, build their reputation as a thought-leader, and demonstrate their savviness with emerging technology, I see more and more individuals taking to forms of social media like Twitter and G+ to establish professional accounts.  I think this is especially a way to delineate oneself in the thought-leader and influencer department as sites like LinkedIn and RallyPoint become more "baseline" for all professionals.  In other words, people practically expect everybody to, for example, have a LinkedIn profile these days so having additional channels of professional presence is a way to differentiate from the crowd.

Do you maintain a non-personal Twitter account?  If so, share the link to your profile for fellow RallyPoint users to follow you.

Additional thought points for Twitter users: What was your motivation in setting up a Twitter profile?  Do you find yourself mostly sharing other people's content, discussing with other users, or syndicating your own content from other sites?

I'll get the sharing started with my own Twitter profile: http://www.twitter.com/ihelpnonprofits

My philosophy is, if I don't want people talking about it I wont say it. Always pause to think. This has also stopped me from getting a lot of stupid tatoos.
