Dan Schwabel Twitter is the New MySpace

Dan Schwabel Twitter is the New MySpace Check out what Dan Schwabel, author of Me 2.0, posted on Facebook: Im not surprised.  For many months Ive been wondering about Twitter as the value its given me (that is, the responses I get on my tweets, retweets, relevant tweets, etc.) has changed.  Sad to say, but the value has decreased. The new change in interface they made, where I cant click a link to see just the tweets that have @jasonalba in them, makes it a pain to see any relevant content. Less relevant content = less reason for me to be there Harder for me to see conversations = less reason for me to be there I cant imagine Im the only one thinking this.  Im not even going to talk about the complete uselessness of trending topics (which are usually vulgar or less-than-sophomoric), and Twitters head-scratching inability to keep spam down.  For crying out loud, how come they can block some tweets/countries, but cant block the spammers?  Are you serious?  I get so much spam crap (DM as well as @replies) how can they block some stuff but let SO MUCH spam get through? It seems irresponsible. Dont get me wrong I like Twitter for some things.  I think some things theyve done are brilliant, and Facebook and LinkedIn should have done them, but overall, its become a place with significantly less value than what I had a couple of years ago, which is sad One last thing Dan is not a rookie whiner, not knowing what hes talking about.  Hes been a very active Twitter user: What do you think is Twitter going the way of the Dodo bird?
