What people really think of Twitter

June 9th, 2008

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.”
