I understand the lack of usage from the perspective of the average user who doesn’t find a point in tweeting to pretty much nothingness and finding it difficult to use. It can also be frustrating that most of the very people you want to communicate with are not using it yet; so it’s just easier to stick with Facebook or Myspace. I think that Tweeter should hold more people’s hands in showing them how to integrate Tweeter with Facebook.

I personally think it’s a great tool when integrated with your blog or website and being able to essentially provide small updates to your blog on the fly and project your presence that much more. I really enjoy it.

I think that Twitter needs to integrate its feeds with other online services to give its users a bigger voice and more relevance. This would be more appealing to more people in my humble opinion. How that is done I don’t know. Twitter is here to stay and some smart guy is going to put it into overdrive in the not too distant future.

I think the reason that many people create twitter profiles and then twitter only once (at most) is that Twitter is really difficult to understand for most non-tech people.

Unlike most applications you have no idea what to do when you first create an account. It’s almost like you give someone one walkie talkie – but they dont really know people who may be listening – or what they might want to say. The applications for twitter are not easy for newbies either.

Note also that there is no email confirmation when you create an account. I think if there were an email confirmation click required that would cut down the twitter subscribers number by at least 20%!

That said – I think Twitter is ridiculously powerful and each active twitterer adds value to the platform. The lurkers don’t hurt neither.

Most of those who have joined twitter recently are probably companies looking for PR, or people who joined to see what it was all about who haven’t figured it out yet. I think that Twitter is not very user-friendly, and it’s become very PR-oriented recently.
