For example, if I @ reply you from my Twitter account, no one but you can see that, unless you choose to @reply to my @reply and even then, your followers can only see your @reply, not the original comment.
It's a great platform for companies to distribute critical information and for self-centered celebrities to make sure they stay at the center of attention. (ha)

2 edits | All true. But it is the beginning of something and still has value in terms of information exchange. I imagine in three years, Twitter won't even be relevant. You'll see the idea of instantaneous info exchange just incorporated across apps. I also expect in short order, corporations will greatly restrict what their employees can say and/or do via Twitter because there's PR risk involved in acting like a human being and speaking your mind (imagine the horror of that!  ).
Still, where Twitter is right now, there's value in the info being exchanged. Especially for bloggers -- given there's countless corporate employees who are chatterboxes and give up info you couldn't otherwise obtain from traditional support and/or PR. |

Especially for bloggers -- given there's countless corporate employees who are chatterboxes and give up info you couldn't otherwise obtain from traditional support and/or PR. I totally agree. I very, very rarely post on Twitter, but I do follow several companies and people I enjoy hearing from. I think the fact that others can't clutter up the page is what makes it so valuable. You don't have to worry about the signal-to-noise ratio ... it's all signal.

I hope corporations are smart enough to only allow media relations/PR employees to use twitter. PR disasters, vengeful employees saying bad stuff on purpose to screw over the company, employees handing out proprietary trade information (like admitting they a policy of no capital investment and redlining), employees defaming customers, unresponsiveness being turned by the blogosphere into accusations of genocide, antisemitism, fascism, racism and pedophilia. |

| I'm not talking about "vengeful" employees out to screw the mothership. That seems strange to even infer from what I posted. I'm simply talking about good, regular employees expressing themselves. I think Twitter, as it is RIGHT NOW, allows some insight to these companies that you're not going to see down the line. |

I've been to the secret sections of the mother ship, and truth is:
THEY'RE LIZARDS!
THEY'RE HARVESTING HUMANS FOR FOOD!
Sorry, I had a 1984 flash back. All of a sudden my computer looks like a 128K Mac with that horrible horrible mouse that had those shitty plastic legs.
Maybe in a year I can upgrade to a 512K "fat Mac".
Can't see why anyone would ever need more than 512K and a 800KB floppy.

New to Twitter? or just embarrassed before to admit it? I know people here aren't fond of it...
Looks like you guys have been on it for roughly
9 months, 4 weeks, 2 days, 1 hour, 13 minutes, 2 seconds
But who's counting.

You'll see the idea of instantaneous info exchange just incorporated across apps. hey they have instant exchange apps now they are called messaging clients, it's not hard click on the name of the person on your list, open the chat window and talk. A huge chunk of all corporations and people already have them both at work, home, and their cellphone and it works great, the fact they got involved in Twitter to say the exact same thing they could say on there is a waste of time for everyone and just them trying to be trendy. The average time someone uses a blog or Twitter or any new social interaction tool is roughly around a month maybe two at most before they stop using it.
People get bored with things very quickly and twitter is going to go down that same path I think a lot sooner than expected. It's the continual cluttering of the internet with more and more trash.
