I just don't understand the draw of twitter. I guess it's just the old "take some old unix app and make it for the web" thing again. Hello wall 2.0.
ETA: the simple fact that you can get 1800 "followers" in a week devalues the "service" even more to me.
- ca98am79 18y agojust because you don't understand it does not mean it has zero value.
- goofygrin 18y agobut the fact that someone can go from 0 to 1800 "friends" in a week (assuming they are a noone like me) has to imply the lack of value of an account with that many friends (and IMNSHO the "service" itself).
- ca98am79 18y ago"followers" - not "friends." And not necessarily - think about supply and demand. There are a limited number of twitter accounts. If you happen to have a good twitter account name, it may attract many followers and be of value. Plus, it isn't easy to get that many followers. You can't just sign up and make it happen. I think the number of followers would be of value from at least an advertising perspective.
- mattmaroon 18y agoWhy do you assume someone with 1800 followers is a nobody? I'd guess they have a blog that is read by a decent number of people or something like that.
