Have people finally realised what a complete waste of time the twitter website is? Unless you’re like really, really famous, say like Madonna and have hordes of loyal fans that are desperate to know what you’re up to at all times, then really, what’s the point of twittering? As far as I know the twitter website is a hugely scaled down version of Facebook. The status comment on Facebook being its equivalent. I never understood the point of it, let alone the hype and according to techradar.com 60% of users quit after one month. Facebook recently went through a facelift, with the new design heavily influenced by the twitter layout / function, much to the anger from its users. Maybe it’s a good idea not to let the latest trend affect and influence your business model until you know for sure that that is what your clients / users want. And as the article on Techradar shows, it appears that this is not what users want. But then I guess that even though 60% of users leave after one month, the site still have plenty of users twittering about their lives, so I might just be wrong…Above picture taken from the following website: http://lonewolflibrarian.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/top-must-have-twitter-mashups-apps030109/
