Agreed, Oprah coming to twitter is definitely a case of "there goes the neighborhood" - sighIt wouldn't hurt you to think like a fucking serial killer every once in a while - just for the sake of prevention Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBS 0 #55 May 16, 2009 I think Twitter has a lot of levels. I think there is definitely a "fad" level, where people are following celebrities and such, not really getting useful information. The celebrities will get tired of it and adopt the newest greatest method of reaching their fans, and the fans will die off when they realize that they are not really hearing from the people directly anymore and they have less and less to do with the actual posts. Seems to me that this big blowout where you hear about it everywhere you turn will die down, and the platform will evolve more into a tool or plugin for other things like it already has for Facebook and Firefox. And as you mentioned, a tool for industry, news, stocks, etc. They just need to have a clear roadmap of which paths they should choose to pursue hard before the buzz dies down. To me, this phase is more like market research for when reality hits and they run a real company for the long haul.
