Twitter Isn’t Over-Hyped; It’s Just Misunderstood Tech
- mattmaroon 17y ago1. The 140-character (or less) limit seems like a restriction to many people. In fact, it’s a way of forcing companies and businesses to get to the point. You have to deliver the message quickly and succinctly without frills or hyperbole. I might buy that if every Twitter post didn't fall into one of two categories, inanity like "going to the gym" or bitly links to things of actual value.
- speek 17y agoI still think Twitter is overhyped...
- moe 17y agoI'd go further and say twitter is pretty much the definition of over-hyped. I can't remember any technology or company before it receiving that kind of hype. Not even google, ebay or the forgotten monstrosities during the dotcom bust. I think this is less about twitter itself but more about a way overbloated tech news / blogsphere scene craving for content. Don't know what to write? Write about twitter.
