Twitter 'hype puncture': Missing the point by 9 million
June 9, 2009
[Sarcasm begins]
Just so you all know - I'm abandoning Twitter following Harvard findings that 10% of users create 90% of content.
I follow just short of 200 people from all walks of the travel industry, and they regularly share great links and make me think and laugh.
But what good is that now I know there are 9 million people out there not posting at all?
The idea of missing out on all the things they might theoretically post if they were a) part of my community of interest or b) interested in participating is too much to bear.
Some of you might be content to use Twitter to keep up with a sensible number of interesting people, but I was in it for those 10 million voices. Every one.
See you in the print letters pages.
