Please try this:
1. Go to Twitter.com from a fresh browser, ie, not logged in.
2. Sign up for a new account, name it anything you like.
3. Without following anyone, sit and view your stream for a little while. An hour or two should do.
4. Return in a month, view your stream. Does it still look like it did a month ago?
5. Write an article on how no one uses Twitter, it’s a ghost town and a complete failure.
Let me know how that works out for you.
