Or worse. They fall into the 'Lets get all sugared up about Twitter for a month, then forget to post' category. Fine for an individual - deadly for a business since it indicates an inability to see through a strategy, lack of foresight (in not allocating resources) and general woolly band wagon jumping. Sadly, I've seen it happen all too often. Roger – “So these 60 million or so who do not use Twitter after signing up fall into the “just don’t get it” category?”

Or worse. They fall into the ‘Lets get all sugared up about Twitter for a month, then forget to post’ category. Fine for an individual – deadly for a business since it indicates an inability to see through a strategy, lack of foresight (in not allocating resources) and general woolly band wagon jumping.

Sadly, I’ve seen it happen all too often.

That may be the real use of it, more than a personal diary. I recently joined up, and find that it is working wonderfully as a ‘trend ticker’ and a source for links, to websites of interests.

Rather I would say that Twitter itself has done a poor job of articulating the benefits of using Twitter, and evangelists have been talking among themselves rather than reaching a wider audience. Statistics also show that people who don't use Twitter and then come back to it tend to have more sticktoitiveness than one-time users.
