The Twitter Flatline…You Knew it Was Coming

Posted by: admin In: Twitter| Web Tools

Mashable wrote an article yesterday about Twitter’s growth stalling…I was actually just thinking about this. I thought “Wow, I haven’t heard a lot about Twitter recently…people must be getting bored with it”

I’m on Twitter and I’ve tried to become all savvy with it because I’m an internet marketing specialist and that’s what we do, right?

Wrong. I’ve decided I like Facebook way more than Twitter. So there. I don’t use Facebook to look at business fan pages, I use Facebook to keep up with my awesome college roommate who has her own farm and tack shop (sense the jealously?) and I use it to keep tabs on my little bro who’s a sophomore at Ohio University.

Twitter is just too darn noisy for me and I think other people are starting to come to this realization as well; you have to be glued to Twitter or else you miss the conversation.

Don’t get me wrong, if you want to procrastinate, Twitter is your place. I could get lost for hours while lurking on other people’s (that I don’t even know) profiles.

Maybe Twitter should’ve monetized in 2008 when they grew 752%.

And boy I hope TV and radio personalities learn it’s Twitter, not Tweeter. :)

Hi I'm Julie and this is my journal about the web per se; a place where I can jot my thoughts and document trends. I love most things associated with the web but paid search is my forte. I'm also a huge fan of web stats and anything requiring a bit of analytics. :)
