Dear Friends and Futurist Colleagues:
Following is a list of recent tweets posted on Twitter (with hyperlinks intact) which you may find thought-provoking. All you have to do is to read each one (140 characters or less), click on the hyperlink, read something interesting, click on the "Back" button/arrow in the upper left-hand corner of your computer screen. Really quite simple. In the words of George W. Bush, former US president and noteworthy speaker and statesman, "This is not rocket surgery."
Before I parade my tweets in front of you, you might be interested in knowing about three major social media platforms, as of the date of this writing, October 7th, 2009:
1. Twitter is declining in popularity, and is losing serious marketshare to other, more interactive and substantive media. More than 45% of the postings on Twitter at present are about: Twitter and its applications; other advertisements; adult entertainment, investments and gambling; mer links to paid services outside of Twitter. Many people under the age of 30 are not even bothering with Twitter, and are spending more time on Facebook, which is the largest and fastest growing social networking platform. In fact, Facebook is being used as a central news and communications nexus for an increasing number of internet users.
2. In the current economy, a rapidly increasing proportion of posts on LinkedIn are related to employment inquiries and services for sale, as opposed to simple discussions about topics of mutual interest, and educational content. LinkedIn is growing, but at a far slower pace than FaceBook.
3. One of the most frequent complaints that businesspeople have is the increasing demands on their time and energy to keep up-to-date with all of their media platforms and groups. It is no surprise that most of the applications being sought by telecorrespondents relate to centralizing, organizing and coordinating messages and other information across all media platforms.
