Sometimes we forget that the new media, such as Twitter, is an effective and aggressive tool of capitalism. Slowly more people are becoming aware that famous twitter personalities, are getting $ to gently endorse products. Adding to these planned/tainted motives are bots cranking out the tweets every 5 minutes vying for your precious attention and buying power. BTW, can anybody really keep up with and follow more than 60 twitter persons? Doesn't following 2000+ tweets seem excessive, especially when some are tweeting around 5X a day?
It appears the pure stream of real people and their opinions is beginning to suffocate in the crowded and frenetic pool of strategic commerce.
Twitter is a great way to briefly communicate with a bunch of people. But just like our parents said, "don't believe everything you read or hear".
