Twitter Goes Down for 24 Hours

I use Twitter very naturally.

I rarely schedule a tweet. If I have something to say, I say it.

If I feel the notion to reply to an @joelcomm tweet, I reply.

If I want to take photos while on the move, I\’ll use Tweetie and Twitpic.

And if I want to talk business, I talk business.

I am not on Twitter all the time, but I also do check in at least once/day to see what\’s going on.

What about people who are on Twitter all the time?

How would they live if the \”fail whale\” was up for an entire day?

I recently posed the question in the form of a Tweet…

The answers were telling. You can easily determine who is using Twitter too much, and who is a casual user that doesn\’t have all their eggs in the Twitter basket.

I think my favorite is the question asking if oxygen masks would drop from the ceiling.

Twitter should be just one part of your social media strategy. I would have a much more difficult time without access to email than to Twitter.
