Twitter Thoughts
April 30, 2008 on 7:37 am | In Blogs, Buzz, Marketing, Media, Online, Twitter, Web 2.0 | View CommentsHere’s a random review of some recent coverage of Twitter:
Despite phenomenal growth, Twitter still hasn’t reached mainstream adoption, according to Heather Hopkins, vice president, research, Hitwise Intelligence, who analyzed the service’s Internet visitation rates in the U.S. While visits to Twitter.com are up eightfold year-over-year, and have more than doubled in the past three months alone, she noted that the site still ranked as #439 among all social networks and forums last week.
At Micropersuasion, Steve Rubel says,
There’s been an interesting discussion over the last few days about Twitter’s reach. WSJ reporter Kara Swisher surveyed her dinner party and found out that no one there uses the micro-blogging site. Meanwhile Gina Trapani on Lifehacker is running a survey asking if Web 2.0 benefits only the tech elite.
The Online Journalism Blog reports on how journalists can master Twitter,
Contacts are central to a journalist’s work. Twitter makes it easier to find them. But whereas, for instance, Facebook requires someone to accept you as their ‘friend’ before you get updates; you can follow people on Twitter regardless. It’s where blogging meets social networking.
Finally, Todd Defren at PRSquared says PR folk must Twitter or else,
Am I seriously suggesting that a PR person MUST become an active Twitter user if they want to have a meaningful career? Even though Twitter is supposedly still a below-the-radar service? Well, yea, kinda. But for more – and more varied – reasons than you might think.
