When 16k People Don't Read Your Tweets...

I've taken 2 weeks off work to relax from pretending to be busy. (It's hard work pretending to be busy.) In my time off I've been tweeting a lot more and, in my opinion, funnier/better stuff. Others would beg to differ and that's fine.

I've been tweeting more questions lately and getting zero responses. So my almost 2,000 followers don't read my tweets? That's fine. But this is happening across multiple and even third party accounts! Twitter was supposed to be great for asking people's opinions - e.g. what should I eat for dinner (spaghetti bolognese) OR does my butt look big in these jeans (yes, but it's cute).

I posted a question to @retweet_central which has about 14k followers (a useful service). Not one of them replied. How is that supposed to make you feel when 16k people don't read or reply to your tweets? I might as well tweet to a brick wall.

Does it all really get lost in all that Twitter SPAM?

If twitter becomes a site where there are one way tweets all the time, it is going to lose popularity very very quickly. Fortunately, there are small groups of people who use it as an internet chat vehicle and in this way it was awesome to meet many FANTASTIC fellow twits from Perth. Hi guys! *waves*
