They need to rethink this. Obama saw a 40k drop in twitter followers last month after posting 100 tweets in 6 hours. People like being connected and involved, but not played.
- kposehn 15y agoInteresting! There might be some data to mine there...do you know which day?
- cdh 15y agoIt's worth noting, though, that Obama currently has 9,944,903 followers on Twitter. 40,000 lost followers would represent a change of less than half a percentage point.
- nhebb 15y agoYou are correct, but it's worth noting that having 9.9M followers didn't make news last month. Losing 40k followers in a single day did. Stasis doesn't make news in politics and causes. Movement does. If Al Gore ends up irritating a large number of social network users, it could backfire and be counter-productive to his goals.
