Twitter beginning to slide?

Posted on June 30, 2009 by Ed

Some lawyers are beginning to leave Twitter.

I started with Twitter several months ago and within 48 hours received 2 invitations to speak at conference, one on the West Coast and one in the Northeast. Beyond that, I haven't seen any revenue generated, but I have made connections with folks whom I value.  Is it worthwhile? That depends on your metric for success. For revenue, no, not yet. For connections and an avenue for quick conversation, I think so (at least that's my current thinking. And I know a number of folks who swear by Twitter.

The problem with all of this social media is that the human body needs no further inducement to hunch over ... we've tried for so long to stand tall, straight. And being hunched over to look at our portable screen takes us back to our origins ... and takes multi-tasking to an entirely new level of understanding.

What has been your experience?

I agree that Twitter so far is good for short interactions and meeting new people. I have been Tweeting about setting up a law practice the past 2 weeks and have added about 6 new followers, just from those Tweets. So people are on there reviewing various Tweets. Jury is still out though on revenue generation.

I think you should reserve your spot on it and keep it up for now. Hard to tell how it will evolve.
