My one point of difference is while you are absolutely on target re: Facebook, LinkedIn etc., Twitter seems to have evolved into a different animal for two reasons: (1) It doesn't do as good a job of enabling interactive conversations that other people can easily follow, and (b) It can reach a much broader audience -- far beyond your followers. (I now see Twitter followers as almost irrelevant and don't do anything to add them.)</p><p>Those two Twitter traits are making it less personal by its nature, so people there now follow topics/hashes more than people, and that makes outright business promotion (e.g. auction announcements) more acceptable. If somebody's got a search set on #duluth, they don't much care about the poster, just whether it interests them.</p>Carl CarterWed, 14 Oct 2009 10:03:38 -0000
