Providing Website Updates.Is Twitter Really Worth It?
Twitter is one of the hottest social media tools today. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon because … because everyone else is so it must be great.
I have been on Twitter for a few months now and yet to see real value from it.
I’m following 2,000 people because that is my limit but I’m not reading many of the tweets that come in. Maybe I am following the wrong people because most of them are about network marketing and making money.
It might be time for a clean out and following some better Twitters.
There is about 500 Twitters following me now. When I post a new blog entry, I normal send a tweet but I’m not seeing any traffic from it.
Is Twitter really worth it?
This makes me wonder if this company is really worth a billion dollars? It has no revenue and any advertisements are going to be ignored.
I see more value in the Facebook platform yet they are still having issues trying to make money from advertising.
Spam Tweets
I am noticing that many of the tweets that I receive are spam. I don’t read many of them because everyone is shouting out to get me to their website.
The statistics from January to November 2009.
The number of new users in July was 9.4 million down to 7.1 million in November. How many of these accounts are really accounts?
The number of Tweets has been increasing more. Are people using this as a real communications tool or are spammers using Twitter to help market their websites?
Conclusion
Will Twitter stand the test of time? Will people remember Twitter as a fad or will it keep growing into a important communications tool?
If Twitter cannot find a better purpose, with real people and less spammers, it may not be be really worth it.

I agree with you regarding ’spamming on Twitter’. I got on the Twitter bandwagon in July and jumped off in September basically because I found it more annoying than helpful. Much of what is circulated is utter redundant nonsense. I particularly got frustrated with the automated ‘personal messages’–such as ‘Thanks for following me. Want to make cash fast see my website http://www.blahyadhablah.com‘. As a marketing strategy, I could not imagine that it gets these spammers very far.
Regardless, I am now back in the Twitter scene–or rather am retaining a pulse. I basically ignore most Tweets and focus on individuals pages that I marked under ‘favourites’. And while I do feel I have met some interesting people, I do not feel that my participating is really giving my business any direct marketing boost.
I am finding other spaces and places to connect up, perhaps that I would have not thought of or found had I not participated on Twitter. So, there is a positive side—but unless something changes with Twitter, particularly with the spammers, I don’t see it as being a viable communications tool for people really want to make meaningful connections.
