Many people reacted to my post, “CEOs won’t say Twitter and other contradictions about the hottest social media thing since the one before it.” Here are a few representative comments:
“My Twitter account is filled with so much junk I don't want to link it to my Blackberry because my texting charges will go into overload instantly. I find Facebook far more useful.”
“I rarely check my account because I go on into instant Twitter overload, skimming through messages to find something of relevance.”
“It worked for me when I quit trying to make it DO something… It's the same with most technologies… they can be used for multiple purposes. Once you find yours, you'll wonder how you got along without it (like the DVR.)”
“I have used Twitter to build my online brand. Now I get paid to teach others the same. Long live Twitter!”
“If a new online social medium can be developed that doubled my business in six months the way Twitter did, I'm all for it.”
“One of the most damning condemnations of Twitter ... is that there is no business model… And we all know a business that doesn't make money simply ceases to be a business. Period.”
