I remember when Twitter first started and there were tons of interesting people talking to each other.
I got freelance jobs through Twitter and internships and friends. One time I told my parents I was going to meet my company who I had been working for for 4 months while only knowing the people through Twitter. They were concerned.
But today, it seems like most everyone who follows me is a brand of some kind.
Twitter is still, imho, the greatest social network. But it could be so much better.
- bliti 11y agoYou nailed a pretty important point. It's now about branding, personal or not. Which really stinks because I used to love bouncing one liners with random people a while back. Twitter allowed you to poke somebody in a friendly way and get a similar response. Now it's just about brandind.
