Poll Results: Why Do You Tweet?

Poll Results: Why Do You Tweet?

via TwiTip de Lara Kulpa em 24/07/09

Last week I asked TwiTip readers to share their primary reason for using Twitter, and the results weren't all that surprising:

I'm personally a little disheartened here, with the number one result being "Promoting my company/blog (as opposed to networking)." Granted, networking and learning are close behind, but it seems to me that people are more out for getting their business in front of others' eyes as a number one priority.

Do we blame this on the "social media experts" who push the idea that Twitter is good for business, or is it more just a selfish need to try anything to drum up more clients? What happened to communication on Twitter? Look at the results for "To talk about anything EXCEPT business." at only 9% of the answers… I was hoping that number would've been a little higher at least.

What do you think? Is Twitter the same as it always was, or has it become more of a place where people advertise more than they connect?
