Twitter Is Not Just For Geeks and Definitely Not For Money

Started by Corvida · 1 year ago

The truth is, twitter is for geeks. Actually, it’s not even for geeks, it’s for uber-geeks. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I use twitter myself and have at times been called a geek. But to someone who uses the Internet for business (gasp!) and to make money, Twitter is often just a [...] ... Continue reading »

    Corvida, I totally agree with you. We geeks tend to be first at these things, but Twitter is the sort of thing that's useful to everyone--they just need to give it a shot.

    Somehow I don't think that article was worth your well-reasoned response though. The guy who wrote it is from here (http://www.cornwallseo.com/), and it's quite obvious that they're just linkbaiting...

    Personally, whenever I hear the term "social media marketing expert" I always cringe a bit ;)

    No clue. What else would you suggest calling them though. Fits the bill if you ask me.

    Mind you, I'm not criticizing your choice of words. You're simply using the expression in common use today. I'm just poking fun at how political correctness doesn't always make much sense. The term homemaker, for instance, though out-of-date, seems to me more of a positive, uplifting word. Stay-at-home sounds like the poor woman isn't allowed to leave the house :-) Anyway, not really on-topic. Sorry. Enjoyed our chat.

    Twitter is also for gamers!! My friends and I use it to keep in touch with people from our gaming alliances.

    Corvida, great post. In other words, twitter is for everyone and it's what you make of it. You get out of it what you put in.

    Totally agree. Twitter is not for geeks. I am not a geek although I was called so when I firstly tried Twitter in the early day, but I am totally not a geek in any way.

    Movies, music, lifestyles, restaurants, foods, etc. are something I (and some of my friends) share via Twitter.

    I still don't know what is the business model of Twitter but what the heck, just use it while it's still free and worry later.

    Twitter is good in gaining popularity among like-minded people. I am addicted.
