In an effort to capitalize on its increased attention, Twitter as shallow in the public’s eye, but they won’t be able to handle the increased traffic. Twitter hasn’t even been able to handle the Oprah effect, how will it handle any additional traffic this show sends its way?
There are plenty of sayings akin to “You are what you wear” or “You are what you eat“. If Twitter’s growth is driven by the entertainment industry, that’s what Twitter will become: a tool for the entertainment industry. Maybe there isn’t a problem with that, but I’m not sure that’s what Twitter had in mind and I’m pretty sure, based on the reactions to the news, that it’s not what Twitter’s most passionate users want either.
That is the exact reaction I expect from the majority of Twitter users. Let’s not make this MySpace 2.0—or are we too late?
