Apropos twitter

First on marketingfacts I was reading something
about Guy Kawasaki's keynote. Then I saw his
SocialSurvey, which at that point had about 2 out
of 3 for "I'd rather see it go away". That's not
surprising, since marketeers are getting ready to
move in and move real people out, fleeing to the
next thing that marketeers haven't yet started to
exploit. As I understand Guy is saying: Twitter is
a great tool for marketeers to pretend to like
everyone, but really ignore almost everyone,
automate everything so you don't have to bother
with it and then spam it till it's dead. You know,
like e-mail and blogs before twitter.
