Twitter is Getting Desparate

10Nov09

Doh….Twitter is getting desperate. Just saw a link on the site to their team page: http://twitter.com/twitter/team. This must be the sad attempt to create a closer community. Love us, we are here. Keep coming back to our site, please…we will make investors mad if we fail. What a wonderful comical team. Twitter groups, I mean Twitter lists…a…good luck with that.

Twitter lists will just be another nail in the coffin. Users have already caught on that their followers don’t read many of their posts, and with lists you are just going to make it that much harder to follow or be followed.

All goes to my forecast of under 15 Million monthly users in the US by Jan. 2010.

I Know What is Next for Twitter

04Nov09

I know what is next for Twitter. I have been building websites for over a dozen years now. I have tracked all of their stats, and I know what is next when I see a graph like this.

Sites that constantly go up very rarely keep that trend. Even Google has it’s ups and downs. Well look at what Twitter has done. They went screaming up, leveled off, and can you guess what it next? A big down. Don’t be surprised if you see a big drop in numbers for this site. They are getting new users, but they are soon quitting when they see how much it sucks. Besides, you can do a lot more with a service like Friendfeed or Facebook. Sorry Twitter, you suck eggs. Can’t wait till the graph updates!

Will Twitter stay above 15 million visitors a month from the US by Jan, 2010? Maybe…

Months Later and Still Seeing Whales

28Sep09

No, I’m not at the beach in Santa Cruz watching the whales swim by. I’m sitting at my desk in disbelief that Twitter is still displaying over capacity screens. Will they ever dump more money into their service? I know they keep getting investors, just recently got six big ones, but where is the money going?

I predicted on my main site that Twitter will never hit 50 million uniques a month from the U.S.. Judging by their support, the site can’t handle 24 million. So basically, If Twitter could have 50 million, they couldn’t support it. My prediction is currently fail safe.

All Are Unfollowing Now

19Jul09

A while back I posted how I doubled by Twitter followers by doing nothing. It was just another glitch by Twitter, and the numbers returned. Today I find that all my 4,000 visitors are no loner following me. It says I have 4k followers, but running Wanna Be friends service I find that all of them are are not. Looking more closely to what twitter days, my numbers did drop by 400 yesterday. This to me means Twitter Glitch. I’m guessing Twitter will fix again in the next few days, but what is up with their engineering. Checking another Twitter account I have, it says I am still following my main account so I have no idea what they are doing. No glitches for that username.

13Jul09

Over the past few days I have read several articles pointing to Twitters demise, one of them mine I admit. The reality is there though for Twitter. No real plan, and so many other ways to communicate, and on sites that offer more than 140. Twitter…watch out for the giant WAVE.
