Time out for Twitter

Today's post is going to take a brief look at Twitter.  I see Twitter as becoming polarized.  People either lover or hate Twitter, there is really no middle ground.  While Facebook has become THE social networking website with the largest following, Twitter is lagging behind along with Linked-In.  The difference is Twitter and Linked-In are more focused in their appeal.  I think people are still trying to figure out if Twitter has value, and Linked-In seems to be more appealing for business users.  I'm not sure anyone cares too much that Ashton Kutcher has now surpassed the 2 million follower mark.  It seems Oprah can't catch him.  More interesting to me is that 10% of Twitter users account for 90% of Twitter activity!  I think people still like to joke about Twitter.  Will Farrell joked on Conan O'Brien the other night that he didn't Twitter, he still uses a CB!  Remember, he's Old School.  So I think Twitter needs to develop more practical uses to gather the masses who feel that Facebook is all they need.  And it would be helpful for them to be able to show that they can make money, otherwise they could find themselves to be a fad and end up as a answer to a trivia question someday in the not to distant future!  Do you Twitter?
