Maybe I’ve been sticking my head in the sand about Twitter. Now I have hard data. A side-by-side, real-time comparison. The results are undeniable. Which makes me incredibly sad. Twitter was built for real-time conversations. Some of my closest professional relationships began there. I connected with authors and speakers who were inaccessible until Twitter came along. Now I feel like Twitter is breaking up with me. It wants things I can’t give (like a steady stream of auto-scheduled self-promotion) and envisions a future I don’t want a part of. Ugh.
