Is Twitter Over-rated?
I wonder about this all the time. Is Twitter over rated or am I just uninformed?
Of course I have a Twitter. Sometimes, I Twit a little too. I might be wrong, some call it Tweet. So far as I know, the sun still rises from the East, I still love chocolates and it still makes me fat.
What then is the purpose of Twitter?
Just like any tool, there are a lot of mis-use and abuse of Twitter. Some people think that just because you have a Twitter account, that makes you the guru of the new social web. Then there is all that spam.
Others think that they can use all these social networks to sell lots of stuff and become millionaires. Yeah, right. I am not a Twitter guru or a professional Twitterer. So, I am going to follow with great curiosity the outcome of my friend Vivienne’s foray into the world of Twitter. You can read about it from her post “Learn Twitter Secrets From A Twitter Pro”
I am not a nay-sayer. I just have a healthy skeptism. But f she does well, I am going to try it too! :)

Hey Calvin!
Its nice to see you post again! Personally I believe that the era of social media is coming. It is like a bandwagon for marketers, we can always ride on it to tap on its advantage.
There must be a reason why 400 million of users are using twitter (and steadily growing by the day!). I believe that new-age media (mainly the internet) is fast becoming the norm as compared to traditional media such as newspapers and that twitter and facebook happens to be 1 of the top marketing tool for social media.
There are many other social media tools and links like myspace, digg (another interesting social community), delicious and many more.

Things always move forward. But I always believe that when we move, it must be because we truly enjoy it. Sure, some people are motivated solely by results and by business or profits. But for me, I find that a tough way to live your life… I guess I will tweet more when I discover something in it that makes it happen for me.
