Twitter is a little bit overrated

Holy Moly, Twitter und dessen Nutzung bleibt staetig.

Auch werden immer wieder gern eigenst, welche im kl. Blogvillage zu finden und mit mehr oder weniger Ironie verbunden samt zwinkerndem Auge zu erlesen sind, etw. Nutzungsregeln erstellt .

Wie, wer, wann eben jene Platform fuer sich nutzt, ja nun … Aber der Satz "I like to use Twitter to express my creative personality,"  rutscht schnell in die Schublade, welche schon im letzten Jahr mit SPAM ettikiert wurde.

Auf ReadWriteWeb ist ein nettes Tool zu ersehen Start Stopping Spam Now, welches mit dem Header StopTweet: A Customizable Spam Blocker for Twitter recht gut beschrieben “Are you suspicious of those sexy avatars and "marketingbizpro" accounts following you on Twitter, but don’t have the time or inclination to block and report them one by one as they pop up?”

Dies aber nur beilaeufig erwaehnt, denn man kann dieser Spam Flut nicht wirklich Herr werden.

Interessanter erlesen sich mir vorrausschaunde Texte, welche etwas Glaskugel behaftet daher kommen, dennoch den Gedankengang anregen. Beispiel : Is Twitter the Next Second Life ?

[..]"Twitter is a little bit overrated," he says. "There will be a new media toy that will replace it in a year or two." Meanwhile, according to VentureBlog, Procter & Gamble execs recently told venture capitalists that they didn’t think Twitter was "particularly relevant to what they’re doing on the brand-building and advertising side" and that "they do not believe that Twitter will ever approach what they get out of a Google or Facebook." (A P&G rep declined comment on the report.)
Like Second Life, Twitter has become a wasteland for brands. Verizon, a company that spent more than $1 billion on advertising in 2009, has around 5,000 followers — about 0.3 percent the amount that Perez Hilton has. Coca-Cola has 15,000. Apple’s not even on Twitter. And some corporate Twitter accounts suffer from prolonged neglect. Delta Airlines’ Twitter page went from June 17 to Dec. 22 last year without a single update. Delta reps could not be reached for comment.[..]

[..] Meanwhile, some small brands don’t boast massive followings, but nonetheless say that Twitter is a marketing lifeline — quick, targeted and (best of all) free. Russell Whitmore runs a small vintage jewelry shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., called Erie Basin. He uses Twitter to notify his 640 followers (if that number seems small, consider that diamond-giant Zales has only 471 followers) about the new estate pieces he gets in.
"I tend to tweet things that I personally like or find interesting," Whitmore says. The feeling that a ring or brooch has been personally selected or chosen adds to the appeal of the tweet. Whitmore’s linkbacks bring followers to his blog, where they’ll find item photos that he puts a great deal of effort into. "If you post a link to a picture of something pretty, it’s likely that people will retweet the image," Whitmore says. "So you end up getting a following from other people’s followers."

Bleibt abzuwarten, wann Twitter in die Second Life Sackgasse, welche von Usern noch immer besucht, dennoch an Hype und Aufmerksamkeit verlor, abdriftet und man nomaden artig weiterzieht. 

Ich ziehe nun nicht weiter, sondern an einer Tabakrolle, denn man will ja sexy sein … Hust.
