Twitter is a fad!
Recently I was in a meeting where somebody said twitter was a fad, that it will die and people WILL get bored. I guess there are no write or wrong answers to a statement like that, maybe the bird will tip off its perch, who knows!
What I am sure about is the new trend in communication Twitter has spawned. Twitter is the utility which has brought life-streaming and microblogging into the mainstream (before it was just the nerds). If people do move on from Twitter, they will only be moving onto more sophisticated or integrated life-streaming platforms.
Back to that original statement.
I’m sure there are many of you out there who hear and think the same thing, take a lookie at the video above from TED, perhaps it will change your mind about usefulness of Twitter, life-streaming and microblogging.
