Fifty one percent of the readers of Internet Evolution voted that Twitter is a fad that will slowly fad away in the next few years.
The author Nicole Ferraro says she is hardly surprise by the result:
“What a great shock. Who in their right mind would write off Twitter, a company famous for its outages, broken features, and apathy toward a business model — and whose overall purpose is giving egomaniacs a forum to repeatedly answer the question “What are you doing?” — as a fad!?”
The poll gathered results from 450 respondents and the results were as follows:
Twitter, a fad, will slowly fade away 51%
Twitter will be acquired within the year 22%
There’s hope for Twitter, but on if it gets a real business plan 13%
Twitter is on target to become a very profitable Web 2.0 company 9%
Twitter will go out of business within the year 5%
One thing that Ferraro underestimates is that Twitter is not just about the ‘egomanic’ writer. There’s a whole community out there who enjoy reading about what the guy-next-door is up to.
Personally I think Ferraro and some of the Internet Evolution readers may have underestimated the desire that humans as social beings have to know what is happening to their neighbour.
