Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:51am on Friday, August 28th, 2009 | Twitter is better for nonsense than business sense, argues Tim Parry, writing at Multichannel Merchant magazine on August 24, 2009:
"Are you still thinking about using Twitter as a channel to communicate with your customers? If so, keep in mind there's a lot of clutter to cut through.
More than 40% of all tweets are "pointless babble." That's from a study released this month by San Antonio-based marketing firm Pear Analytics.
If you're trying to reach your customers with a targeted offer, you're competing against a bunch of twitters telling their followers that they are eating a sandwich, Pear Analytics said. Of the random sampling of 2,000 tweets, 811 fit the pointless babble category.
From there, 751 tweets were considered "conversational" (with the "@" symbol),"and 174 had "pass-along value" (as indicated by an "RT" at the beginning of the tweet)."
