Eric’s done an incredible survey about Twitter called “The State Of Twitter“. He polled over 1,500 people, which is great because it decreases statistical variance and makes the data more valid. There are some interesting findings… but the main one is Eric’s summary…
“On January 3rd, 2008, I wrote a post expressing my opinion that Twitter was probably not the best use of time for most marketers.
Then in my previous blog post (April 7, 2009), I said “I’m not issuing an official retraction of my stance on Twitter… YET. But that day might be coming soon.â€
So am I ready to issue a retraction now that I’ve gotten involved in Twitter and done this research?
No I’m not. I still stand by what I wrote in January 2008.”
Twitter is not good for market. It’s very good of you want to use it as status to your activity and let the others know what you are doing.
