I challenge the assertion that you must you have followers for twitter to be useful? I get plenty of utility from following my favorite comedians, notable developers, companies of interest regardless of whether they follow me back or not.
- ztratar 13y agoI can see that. What about the assertion that you're not getting as much utility out of Twitter as you could be? For me, Twitter's true power doesn't lie in purely consumption -- it lies in decentralized idenitity + boundless conversation.
- saraid216 13y agoI find Twitter useless the moment people start having a conversation. It's impossible to follow unless you happen to be following all of the participants.
- PhantomGremlin 13y agoYes, exactly. For many people this is enough. Twitter is still very useful as a one-way social network. I follow CNBC to keep track of business developments. They don't need to follow me; they don't need to know when I'm shopping at the mall. :)
