(Almost) No One Is Reading Your Tweets (opens in new tab)

It amazes me that Twitter exists. My marketing guy convinced me to start tweeting for business. The ROI we hope for is completely based on serendipity. Dropping leaflets from a plane might have a better result... (Hmmm, business idea: p-tweets - physical-tweets. Messages printed on ping pong balls and dropped from 30,000 feet)

Adam Savage replied to one of tweets a few months ago. That was my 1 minute of Twitter fame.

Based on the numbers in the article I'm in the top 10%. Yay me. Actually, that is kind of sad. I post to Twitter most days, maybe 1 to 3 things a day on average, 90% of which are ignored without a reply or retweet. If that represents the top it doesn't really speak well of Twitter.

I mostly keep my twitter account as some sort of a diary where i post cool stuff i occassionally come across that basically means i dont care about followers but anybody is free to follow me.
