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!

Liberate Media invested the time to really understand our business at the
outset and have a genuine interest in our goals. We were attracted to them
initially because of their experience and knowledge of the new media
industry - they truly are specialists in their field. Their methodical and
tenacious approach means that we always make the best possible use of PR.
