Guy Kawasaki — the technology guru — had some interesting things to say on a recent visit to Orange County to speak at the “VC in the OC” conference. Register reporter Ian Hamilton (@hmltn) quoted Kawasaki suggesting to the audience a business strategy that many on Twitter would consider bad manners — or “spam” …
“Not everybody in the Twitter world agrees with the way I use Twitter. I use it for unintended purposes.”
“Other than perhaps the NSA (the National Security Agency,) there is no better way to monitor what people are saying in the world.”
Repost the same thing multiple times perhaps eight or 12 hours apart because it’s likely not everybody saw it the first time. Kawasaki says to ignore those on Twitter who’d hate that tactic: “If you aren’t pissing someone off on Twitter … You’re not doing it right.”
exactly the reason technofiles like myself avoid twitter like the plague. the “content” already on there was bad enough, now he’s suggesting even more of the garbage in, garbage out mentality which will decrease the signal to noise ratio even further. what a pathetic ’strategy’. thanks but no thanks.
