What is Twitter. For me twitter is like a forum 2.0, mailing list, or chat room or even a platform. People can talk, other can listen and talk back. It’s very fun but obviously not for all people. There has been debate whether Twitter is really something worth using time over time.
Here, I’ll share with you 5 reasons why twitter may not work for you.
- You talk (broadcast) but never “follow”. D’oh?
- You are insisting that other’s businesses are worthless to you. How it is not interesting when you can have direct interaction with people you are admire for their ubergeekness and interesting personality? How it is not fun to follow people visiting startup companies in Israel? Live!
- You are not following people you really want to follow. I drop laughingsquid buy I keep Scobleizer, Techcrunch, marshallk, and add om. I also have several local interesting people like fajarjasmin, salsabeela, budip, ivanlanin, and others who tweets quite a lot.
- You give up easily on filtering noise. Yes, twitter has noises. It’s obvious, but it has some signal as well. You need to have a strategy to filter the noise or even better, turn the noise into some signal. Quotably.com is a good site where you can turn noise into a full of signal conversation.
- You are following people but never replies. You’re not a bot are you?
Do you have any reason not it the list? Why not sharing it?
