Once there was a method of communication that few people had or used. But slowly the numbers grew until it hit the tipping point. Then, seemingly overnight, everyone had one and was using it to communicate with friends and total strangers alike. But after awhile, the novelty wore off and before anyone realized it, nobody, except for a small core group used the method anymore. Sound familiar? No, I’m not talking about Twitter, I’m talking about the CB radio craze of the mid to late 1970s. But I have to ask the question, will Twitter be the CB radio of the new century?
There are reports that more people are dropping off Twitter then signing up for it. There are also rumors that ads could be on the way for tweets. If people are already dropping off the service without the ads, imagine what will happen if people have to wade through ads that are attached to all the tweets they receive.
It will be interesting to see where Twitter is a couple of years from now. Will it have become an essential part of everyday living, or sitting on the shelf next to CB radios? Only time will tell.
