Twitter Thoughts
What’s wrong with me? First I start using a mac now I’m on Twitter. Before you know it I’ll convert to the Jehovah Witnesses. Yeah, Its been that strange.
Here are my high level random thoughts so far:
Use Tweetdeck instead of posting to Twitter. Tweetdeck is cool but I wouldn’t doubt it if something better was on the horizon.
I view Twitter as the phone line. The Tweetdeck guy could make money but how is Twitter going to truly monitize itself?
Tweetdeck makes digesting information and tracking conversations easier but there is still too much to keep up with. I also feel like I’m in an echo chamber.
The community is the only reason why Twitter still exist and that has some value. Unlike Google, if a better service came along people would be slow to leave. The community is key!
I see a lot of people wasting time on Twitter - how do people work when they keep getting distracted.
What is the best way to build followers? I get the sense that its kind of like building an MLM downline: buy my stuff and I’ll be your friend.
Stay tuned…
I wholeheartedly agree that the saving grace of Twitter is the community. If it were just an influx of entertaining URL’s, I’d have (perhaps reluctantly) pried myself away already.
I’ve probably connected with more awesome local professionals in the last few weeks on Twitter than I did all last year. I’ll keep tweeting for the foreseeable future!
