The other factor too is the fax effect - until you have enough people you are connected with who are also using Twitter, it has less impact on a personal level. However for business, it is more high impact regardless of whether you use it at all, as people are talking about your brand most likely and I think it's valuable to be part of that. @rush_L Thank you for explaining my point!

This exchange is enlightening. So without the right tool, pushing a pebble uphill is difficult. (I had only used twitter site + one photo on the "pic" app.) Okay. This exchange is enlightening.

Twitter on the web has such limited functionality - it may in itself be one reason people abandon it. It is really hard to measure new media content with old media methodology. @Piers – I agree.

They make no mention on the blog post. Further digging has found they <a href="http://www.ar-d.com/news/Nielsens-Twitter-Research-Data-Doesnt-Tell-Whole-Story-7710" rel="nofollow">looked only at domain traffic</a>, not traffic coming from third party apps that connect to Twitter via its open API. I virtually never use the web site - I do my tweeting from my iPhone (Tweetie) and from two desktop applications (Tweetdeck and Twhirl when I am monitoring multiple Twitter accounts).
