What people really think of Twitter

June 9th, 2008 by Andy Merchant

I think we all know that Twitter is massive at the moment, and it certainly is in the technology space that Liberate Media participates in. People and brands have cottoned onto the fact that Twitter is an important application in an alternative communications medium.

But what about the rest of you? What do you think of Twitter?

Thanks to a new tool I have come across called Brand tags, we can get a better idea of what people are saying about Twitter. Brand tags is a tagging system that tells you what people think of brands via a tag cloud or list.

This is what Brand Tags have to say about the site: “© Brand Tags: A collective experiment in brand perception. All tags are generated by people like you and do not reflect the opinions of the site owner or anyone else he knows. Have fun.”

That seems pretty conclusive to me, the top three words to describe Twitter are USELESS, STUPID and ANNOYING. Personally I have to disagree with that, as I’m a massive fan of Twitter and have learnt many things through participating and following conversations.

Twitter Rocks!

“In a crowded and confusing market I have always felt that well thought out PR campaigns deliver far more bang for the buck. This is especially true when it's with creative partner companies such as Liberate Media. Traditional marketing and ad spend can never focus on your target audience in the same way that opinion pieces and editorial can.

“I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Liberate Media's understanding of the market place as well as the technical issues is second to none.”
