STUDY: People And Brands Are Using Twitter More Like Television [STUDY] People And Brands Are Using Twitter More Like Television (Olivier Toubia, Columbia Business School)
A study examining the Twitter usage of 2,500 non-commercial users found that once someone reached a "moderately large amount of followers — the posting rate declined significantly." The reason being, according to the study, that users began to realize it was harder to continue to attract more followers with their strategy so their motivation lapsed and posting frequency slowed. On the other hand, celebrities and commercial users continued to post for financial gain.
"Twitter will become less of a communications vehicle and more of a content-delivery vehicle, much like TV. Peer-to-peer contact is likely to evolve to the next great thing, but with 500 million followers, Twitter isn't just going to disappear. It's just going to become a new way to follow celebrities, corporations, and the like," said Toubia. Read > The Most Popular Social Network In Each Country (Vincos Blog)
