The 5 Stages Of Twitter Acceptance
Yet many of the people who declare themselves "converted" and have opened Twitter accounts aren't getting the best benefit. Until recently, I was one of them. I started thinking about this after getting some feedback to my recent blog survey that people were not finding my Twitter feed ( @rohitbhargava) very useful or interesting. Until that point, I had been using it as a place to write all the things that I didn't consider important enough to blog about. I hadn't yet accepted it's true influence. So now I'm trying to revise the way that I use the tool. I retweet other's posts more often. I share links to things that I didn't write, but found interesting. I have been experimenting with playful posts like a "word of the day" feature. All this is to try and find a better rhythm so that I am approaching what I would call a Level 5 stage of acceptance with Twitter. Here's a graphic I created to describe how I see those stages:
