Do you Twitter?
"It is true there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea.’ You are the sea. Although I experience many ups and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts and changes in my inner life, you remain the same." Vincent Van Gogh

The case against Twitter
As I discussed yesterday, while Twitter is gaining membership, it still lags Facebook by a long shot. Most of the hype seems to be coming from Hollywood and perhaps a very clever ad agency that promotes any celebrity that opens up a new Twitter account. If you scroll through the list of Suggested Users on the Twitter "Find People" page, most are celebrities. Adding to the problem of not having an effective income model, this could indeed spell doom for Twitter. Not surprisingly, an article out today lays out The Case Against Twitter, By The Numbers. I think these guys might want to strike a deal with Facebook or Google while the iron is hot. Otherwise, they could end up a statistic in the annuls of web lore. They might want to try to book another appearance on Oprah!
