I attend a yearly national digitalisation conference in Denmark, which is aimed at public sector digitisation. Basically it’s an event where all the CTOs, architects, project managers and politicians meet with the heads (and sales) of our most prominent IT-businesses to tackle our most pressing issues. The first few years the organisers attempted to use twitter as a way to handle questions to speakers questions. I’ve been to auditoriums with more than a thousand people, all top of our digitisation industry, and no one asked a single question on twitter. Eventually the event switched to a web-based questions “app”, where you could simply load a web-page, type in your name and question, or upvote other question, and suddenly hundreds of people participated in the question asking. I think that says a lot about how little twitter matters in some areas. I say this as someone who actually knows a couple of hefty twitter users. They are all journalists though, and on the flip side of things, they can’t comprehend how I can do my job in digitisation without twitter. Heh.
