After the Kutcher fiasco, the site has turned into sales pitches, dumb and meaningless comments and a place for hookers to find "dates"..... I found that my own twittering slowed to net zero posts as I don't feel the need to update my followers on random thoughts, reactionary opinions and wasting time with others posts. If bloggers, new businesses find this useful, great. However, if they ahve time to constantly post on twitter and use social media as their entire marketing plan - great...whatever....but is it sutainable and do REAL results come of this....I have yet to see the proof - meaning $$$$ …now that we are entering 2010, I have ended my Twittering Days.

I monitor traffic on some sites with up to three different statistical options. Two programs show all kinds of twitter and twitter derivative traffic. Google shows none.

It's good for customer relationship management, branding, and for viral Web sites that thrive off of word of mouth. OVERALL, there are better uses of your time when you evaluate the alternatives.

For the average person the only point of twitter is for you to be more interested in things you already care about, and to advertise new products, every other thing twitter does for you can be done using facebook.

A useless tool only meant to advertise to the user

I have been using Twitter for months now and only made a few sales. Maybe it is my marketing techs that are not working. But using Twitter for sales only will just stale the market for everyone, so I think I will market else where. It is hard as hell to get any revenue from Twitter.
