Twitter’s grows by 752% in 2008. Still not sure it has a long term future

It’s great new that it grew so much, but it still puzzles me why anyone would really bother. I struggle with understanding the benefit of Twitter tweets as it’s mostly just noise. 

I’m not giving up yet, but it’s not top on my list of ways to keep in touch.

However, if had twitter groups that enabled me to find people by topic rather than contact details (like i can do in facebook), then it’d be awesome. For now, i’ll continue using Facebook groups.

  1. Although not stated above, I have got some plans for Twitter – to drive traffic to my blog. I’m looking for a solution to auto publish a new blog post’s url to twitter.

  2. Take a look at: http://www.justtweetit.com it allows you to look for people in groups, e.g. Web Developer etc

  3. I’ll have to repost on this subject. i’m starting to feel the love in rather a big way now…
