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!

"There is no hesitation in my mind that Liberate Media is the agency of choice for PR. Their understanding of our business - but better still their ability to communicate it effectively - has been unbelievable. Over the last decade at the forefront of the digital arena I have met and worked with numerous agencies - but none come close to the expertise of Liberate Media."
