Twitter: The beginning of the end?

Tag: BusinessKevin Hail @ 8:15 am

This is not an article about celebrities.  it’s an article about Twitter.  As you may or may not know, Twitter has exploded onto the scene in the last 6 months on the back of celebrities like Shaquile O’Neal, John Mayer, and the king of Twitter, Ashton Kutcher.  The big debate that is raging is, “what’s the point”?  Business are scrambling to ascertain it’s future and value as a means of communication. 

Right now, Twitter is “pure”.  But it was only time till the commercialism comes in and the personal touch falls to the wayside.  Could this be the first big step towards the celebrity portion of Twitter imploding?  A TMZ of Twitter type show would surely scare off celebrities.  And people won’t stick around just to hear businesses advertise to them in 140 characters or less.

    Yeah…It’s frustrating when an underground network is infiltrated by celebrity and pop media. I would have joined twitter back in 08. But now, I won’t go near it. Anything worthy of longevity usually starts with The People…not celebrities. Hollywood constantly fails to get this. I hope the celebrities, faux-lebrities & reality show famehounds bolt from twitter- its cool factor might go up as a result.
