Once I said that Twitter has become like a online reality show. We are just doing something everyone else is doing without being particular productive.

It is something about real time ‘news’ that is fascinating, but at the same time brings things out of perspective.

And I could not agree more that there is a difference between business and community. But it kind of get tricky when your community is your business.

But yeah I will also continue be a Twitter fan for a long time to come.

There are several challenges for us that believe Twitter is more then just a Reality Show. We have to use our little influence to change the trend you describe here. Or else we might risk get back to our desk, and pick up the old battles. And that’s not we are here..

I think we not only have to be game players, but start define the game.

Twitter had such a tremendous growth last year so it is not unnatural that we start question ‘What Now?’

Cheers.. Are

I don’t always see eye to eye with my twitter buddies. They say things I disagree with but I take the time to think about it because I feel like I know them a little bit and they at least deserve my looking at it from their point of view.

I have paid attention to what people are tweeting and if I like what they are saying, and by like I mean they are adding value or are interesting, I tend to follow their blog if they have one. Then I get to know them a bit more. Based on spending months reading other people’s blogs I have even recommended them to clients or friends when they’ve inquired about a service provider or product in their particular field.

Staying stagnant with any tool is your own fault. It’s up to you to see how you can use it differently. Or how you get get more from it.

it’s a shame that such products are on the market. it won’t leave space to real genuine advice like twitip offers

Movements are catching on much more quickly now, which means unconventional methods must also do the same.

It starts out as a group of “loners” essentially who join forces together around something even though each are vastly different to one another. It’s the “group of outcasts” mentality where those individuals who don’t fit in anywhere form a bond with those who share the same feelings.

Now, once the general public catches on and there’s an influx of people jumping on board the bandwagon… these loners, who originally were unique in their given niche, style & substance – they now have hundreds of others quite similar to them at their disposal.

This is why we always end up in the situation where completely brand new “cliques” are formed – either in these once-barren niches or simply by the “cool” early adopters who scoff the “sellout” noobs trying to take a piece of what was unique to them.

The problem is that we have then just created the same environment in which we all fled from in the first place. We’ve become the “in crowd” that looks to conform to some now-meaningless ideology that stifles any other outside-the-box thought to enter our consciousness.

Nathan is dead spot on absolutely 100%. Who says there are definitive rules on how to conduct yourself on Twitter? Because a bunch of “cool kids” told you that’s how it is? Nonsense. It’s an open platform. Follow who you want. Talk to who you want. However you want. There are no boundaries.

Don’t try to fit yourself into a meme, Create a new one.
