Burning Questions: Twitter

There is a lot of chatter about how Twitter accounts are going unused. For example, in this All Things D conference interview, Walt Mossberg states that 51% of people with Twitter accounts don’t use it once a month.

What does Walt really mean by that? Does he mean that people are not twittering meaningless tweets on their twitter account or does he mean that people with accounts aren’t even visiting the site; that they aren’t even pulling feeds and reading on their Google Reader? Can he quantify this statement.

Just because I don’t tweet everyday does not mean that I have not searched twitter daily or reviewed my feeds or monitored conversations or spent time reading what others have to say.

Twitter is more than tweeting. And that is what I think not many of the people that are supposed to be in the know don’t get and that’s why they don’t get Twitter.

What Twitter has Wrought?

Twitter, like its predecessors, email, IM, texting, blogging, offers individuals, professionals and employees (on or off the job) a quick way to get their message out to others who they are working with. Similiarly, everything you make public (or sometimes private) may reveal, what is essentially, privileged or private information about corporations, friends or yourself and may thus expose you, your company, your friends to claims of defamation, copyright infringement, plagiarism, or may get you in trouble with the SEC.

Twitter is no different than that which has come before.

Just think before you Tweet.
