Twitter has very low recall value. Companies will need to constantly update and will need to be interesting.

I don’t think it’s an either/or proposition, but rather an also/and… some companies may find that their customers are best engaged by this sort of media, while other (bigger) companies will use it as they do the automated directory. I don’t think it belies sophistication or any such thing… but I DO find that twitter comes with it’s enormous share of spam and crap, so I’d tend to stay away from it as a main portal for engaging clients/customers.

Why NVG companies are sticking with Twitter in 2010:

- companies think it makes them look incredibly important, rip-roaringly successful and far too busy to read or write actual emails with big words
- clients who don’t mind being compared to birds are likely to be complacent, unfocused consumers
- you can’t be too critical in a Tweet or it would be called a “Croak”
- Tweets are [fingers crossed] inadmissible as evidence in court

Whereas by 2011 it shall be broadly recognized that:

- Tweeting doesn’t make you look busy, it makes you look stupid, semi-literate and ADD-afflicted
- customers who Tweet are in fact mentally feeble, therefore screwing them is statutory rape
- wait up: Steve Jobs’ deathbed legacy, in atonement for his sins with AT&T, the RIAA and DRM will be the iCroak – an instrument of popular revenge on venal corporatists everywhere, eats Tweets for breakfast… and it’s free!
- increasingly, court cases will be settled by apps; Tweets containing >1 smiley/frowny punctuation item become punishable by law…ZZAAP!!!!

Bring on the future, say I.
