Where have all the users gone?
The press has been repeating a piece today covering a story (originally from Nielsen) that Twitter quitters found to outnumber tweeters.
So…are you a twitterer? Have you twittered more or less in the last 30 days than in the previous 30 days?

We have this (wrong – if taken to absolute!) obsession with quantifying and trending everything … 30 days ago or 30 days from now on should have nothing to do with “more or less tweeting” … twitter is about feeling like sharing a piece of information found while reading in areas of your own interests and passion, with whom you’d hope your followers to be: like-minded people.
