The problem with Twitter is that it's about 80% bots, has a die-off rate approaching 99% and is mostly used by marketers to talk to other marketers. It's the easiest thing in the world to have your Facebook post your tweets, your Twitter tweet your Facebook, your Facebook post your Instagram and your twitter to tweet your Instagram. there's no real reason to even bother with the network other than that you can add it as a stock plugin to your SEO deck and have an "also twitter" button for everything you do.

Ryan Holiday pointed out that Twitter's crowning achievement was breaking the news that Osama bin Laden was dead seven minutes before CNN. Seven minutes. Beyond that, what is there, really, that needs to be tweeted?
