[i]"SYDNEY (Reuters) - Today's Twitters are often tomorrow's quitters, according to data that questions the long-term success of the latest social networking sensation used by celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Britney Spears.
Data from Nielsen Online, which measures Internet traffic, found that more than 60 percent of Twitter users stopped using the free social networking site a month after joining.
"Twitter's audience retention rate, or the percentage of a given month's users who come back the following month, is currently about 40 percent," David Martin, Nielsen Online's vice president of primary research, said in a statement."[/i]
do you think its time that twitter think fast and think of new things to use to keep people coming back or do you think the will just keep it like it is and ride it out?

[b][/b]I think everybody is riding on the popularity of the twitter, because many celebrities are joining, it is easy for them to earn extra bucks because they are popular and have many followers, but how about the ordinary people, and it's just nice to go back to a site if you are earning, but if not it's just a waste of time, maybe that's how ordinary people think, so they're not coming back.

i cant believe it is so popular with celebs.. i mean i dunno.. i think that is why i was so disappointed in it because i thought it would be more in depth and not so simple since it got so much popularity from famous people
