Radio is up, too. I'm not qualified to argue on this but The Ad Contrarian will get you ahead. Great blog. Am personally sick of the closed feedback loop that Twitter provides.

I have no hard data to back up this statement, but I'm sure many of the 60% Twitter abandoners were looking for "a real-time Facebook substitute" to continue expanding their respective social circles. I'm not looking for quantity in terms of my own Twitter following. I'm looking for quality individuals and organizations who are either relevant to my industry or my personal professional interests. The reason why I follow you and other "like-minded/homogenous-thinking" individuals is because I learn a new insight or gain access to new content I can professionally apply. Even more importantly, and isn't this Twitter's true power -- The mutual or symbiotic benefits we derive from efficiently identifying or participating in target markets where our professional objectives/interests are aligned! Furthermore, what other online channel besides Twitter provides "an everyperson" the leverage to efficiently engage in true 'long-tail marketing." The people I follow and the people who follow me are interested in highly specific niches. By carefully studying the profiles and followers of other individuals, I am self-selecting into the long tail niches that I deem most relavent to me or my individual organization. I don't have a calculator handy but I know these "targeted slivers" are a lot smaller than the collective 40% who are sticking with Twitter. Thanks for the thought-provoking blog post. I bookmarked it in Delicious.com because I know I'll refer to it again in the future. Raquel, I couldn’t agree more with the content of your blog post.
