Comments on: Twitter Reigns King of The Web Widgets, But For How Long? http://getmikestory.com/getmikestory/index.php/2009/05/twitter/ Blog Interestingly Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:55:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: JD http://getmikestory.com/getmikestory/index.php/2009/05/twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-29 JD Fri, 29 May 2009 00:24:29 +0000 http://www.getmikestory.com/getmikestory/?p=157#comment-29 You know, as much as I agree with you on twitter's lack of ability to grab hold of the teen demographic, I think a lot of the growth has come from those within companies wishing to expand their networking capabilities. Companies are certainily capitalizing on twitter to allow them to market themselves in a fresh way. The media blitz has definitely helped Twitter to grow as fast as it has, and I think the site has a lot of dedicated, prolific users, which I'm not sure is a bad thing. The online audience is very fickle, so I think Twitter needs to find a way to maintain loyal users, and, as you said, really try to move forward with developing a business model/ad revenue model. Twitter apps have already done so. Twitter would be fantastic as a PR firm.
