The Death of Twitter?
If it weren’t for actual news headlines, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Twitter—elevated to the dizzying heights of social media rock stardom, has now been surrounded by equally alarming premonitions of doom.
“An abysmal 40% retention rate!” A tech tabloid screams. “Too much noise!” Says another.
Of course, then you’ve got the social media maven crowd whose recommending everyone to jump ship to FriendFeed, the ‘much-cooler’ alternative to Twitter.
The rise and fall of Twitter seemingly happened within the space of a few weeks!
And across the Tweetasphere, the cracks do seem to be showing.
Endless self-promo spam masquerading as friendly intro DMs.
The Twitter higher-ups showing contempt for their users by introducing reactionary policies.
A whole bunch of clueless folks clogging the tweet-stream with inane stuff.
And there’s a hint of a whisper from the Twitter universe, that Twitter is dying a slow, painful death.
Gasp, is it true? Far from it, really. Pete Cashmore from Mashable said that Twitter is going through the Trough of Disillusionment, an extreme reaction to heightened expectations that lead to crushing disappointment.
The new car smell is gone. The shiny object has lost some of its luster.
