The Twitter Gap Continues...

So I was reading some of my news sites the other day and came across an "interesting" article by a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. The title of the article was, "Do only twits tweet?" By reading only the title first I thought, what??? So I began to read the rest of the article. As I continued reading, I realized this was becoming a Twitter bashing. By the time that I finished the article, it became apparent to me that this Twitter Gap still continues. There are still people out in the world that really don't understand what Twitter brings to the table for so many of us twitterers, personal or business. They don't understand what a great social media and micro-blogging platform this is and what great people, potential clients, etc. that you can interact with. This article is a great analogy of people's confusion about twitter. Every time I hear someone talking about Twitter, they are always using the "What are you doing" phrase. Snickering about why people would want to know what everyone is doing. I agree that Twitter should have a different phrase, it has grown right out of the current phrase and is being used for much more than that! This columnist did a good job at explaining this apparent and continuing disconnection with the remaining people of the world and us twitterers.

Over to you...

I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions to the article written for the Los Angeles Times. ~ Kyle Reddoch
