I forgive you for reading the DT!<br /><br />While I have been demonstrating the importance of people, I've also been focused on getting a shift in the technology focus to people and the way they use technology. <br /><br />I'm not surprised at the low twitter figure. Twitter faces some very particular problems at the moment. My feeling is that it has settled into a niche that is itself a niche.

...Part of an article in yesterday's Daily Tele:<br /><br /><i>Recent polling by Essential asking punters to nominate their preferred form of social media found that Twitter is preferred by a grand total of 1 per cent of the population.<br /><br />One third of us favour Facebook, 20 per cent rely on texting while 37 per cent still rely on trusty old email to connect with the outside world. Interestingly only 8 per cent say they are logged off permanently.<br /><br />There are big differences based on age with over-55s favouring email and the 18-34 year group opting for Facebook.<br /><br />But the consistent finding across all genders and demographics is that just 1 per cent of us rate Twitter as our chosen tool.</i><br /><br />- full article now online at<br />http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/twitter-trolls-should-crawl-back-to-their-dark-hole/story-e6frezz0-1226472070612<br /><br />I just thought the stats were interesting...<br /><br />And Jim, that's now twice in a row I've referenced an article from yesterday's DT. In view of your overriding thought that it is the human interaction which is important, please understand that the reasons I was reading the DT yesterday was that a) its physical size allows for reading while eating breakfast on a small table at the local cafe and b) the newsagent had already sold out of the Fin Review ;)<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-78492575647489611802012-09-12T18:37:02.978+10:002012-09-12T18:37:02.978+10:00Thanks, Evan.Thanks, Evan.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-72525520701457431122012-09-11T10:02:05.966+10:002012-09-11T10:02:05.966+10:00Hi Jim, I do agree.
