Are You For or Against?
At the start of this chat we conducted a Twitter poll, asking our participants if they were for or against Twitter 10K. Down below, at the end of this recap, you’ll see the results.
Q1: Are you a fan of the rumored #Twitter10K change? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/3lUvAvdWCe
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A1 I was SO against #twitter10k until last Friday. Now? I can’t wait for it. Totally changed my views, the more I learned #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
What made you change your view? #TwitterSmarter #Twitter10K https://t.co/3GkdG05KyH
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
@milabeeee @Yung_adQ yes!! That’s what first got me to start liking the idea- that 140 is all you’ll still see 🙂 #TwitterSmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
A1: I’m not a fan of the #Twitter10K because the 140 characters is what makes Twitter, Twitter. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/aWnGQOPDdY
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A1 – mixed feelings around the office, but in general, we’re curious about opportunities #TwitterSmarter
— Falcon Social (@FalconSocial) January 21, 2016
A1 – Mostly, yes. It’ll be nice to have more “breathing space” when tweeting. #TwitterSmarter #Twitter10k. https://t.co/RgHA91Pbce
— Joe Nielsen (@JoeNielsen10) January 21, 2016
A1 I’m not a huge fan… I love the brevity of Twitter. You can catch snapshots of peoples thoughts. 10K could be too much #TwitterSmarter
— Jade Phillips (@lifeofaworkgirl) January 21, 2016
A1 not a fan of 10k characters. @MadalynSklar I’m good with 175. #TwitterSmarter
— jeff soto (@JS_insidepitch) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar Have a hard time to read all comments now. Not sure how somebody could click on read more & still follow chat #twittersmarter
— Dagmar Gatell (@DagmarGatell) January 21, 2016
Q2: What would you rather Twitter change first, instead of adding characters? #Twitter10K #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/ftanqdo3V7
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A2 Edit tweets and the ability to MUTE a hashtag! I’d LOVE that. I learned from @sacca how great mute is 🙂 #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A2: The ability to edit tweets. #TwitterSmarter #Twitter10K
— John Birchfield (@jwbirchfield) January 21, 2016
A2: I would love the ability to have photos, links & tags not count. #Twitter10K #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/ceCRVdA6eF
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A3). I would really be against muted hashtags. That’s the whole point of Twitter. Would be a disaster for blogs. #twittersmarter
— pubclub (@pubclub) January 21, 2016
Q3: What part of biz do you think will benefit MOST from this change? #Twitter10K #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/zaPlngbzt1
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A3 #custserv! You can now help people WHERE they already are-ON twitter! And ppl can see that you’re helpful, (cont’d) #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
…that can help create new customers, based on how they see you deal with peoples issues 🙂 #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
A3: No doubt the journalists, bloggers, and media will benefit most from this #Twitter10K change. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/bzcqPYd2E4
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
Q4: How can #Twitter10K benefit marketers? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/IMAQLsvlhs
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A4 It will help us get WAY more info on our consumers. What they respond to, how much time they’re spending where #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
A4 – #Twitter10k will allow marketers more space to supply info to their customers all in one tweet. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/63xPS804wf
— Joe Nielsen (@JoeNielsen10) January 21, 2016
A4) Announcing a blog post series where you can link to each blog post separately #twittersmarter
— Dagmar Gatell (@DagmarGatell) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A4. Better abstracts of content pieces can be included #TwitterSmarter
— Vivek Nair (@vivektweetsso) January 21, 2016
A4: Marketers will have more data available to tailor their ads #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/0seiWJ9zMi
— PremKanth (@A1Graphics007) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A4: Now they can add more information about products including hashtags. Gud for ecommerce stores #TwitterSmarter
— Sameera Khan (@Sameerakkhan) January 21, 2016
A4: But then it becomes like Facebook and Medium. #Twitter10K #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/7pJx9sqYWL
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
Q5: What is a major downside to upping the character allowance? #Twitter10K #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Wf8jDU8evv
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
a5 People you used to really like to follow you might learn more than you knew and not like it as much 🙂 #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
A5. #Twitter will lose its charm and become another FB where brands will start shouting bad #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/XSLCyyoRS6
— Vivek Nair (@vivektweetsso) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A5: I love community and conversation. With 10K, will it be like the person at dinner who won’t stop talking? #TwitterSmarter
— CMGR Melissa (@CMGRmelissa) January 21, 2016
A5: Remembering to get to the point. Millions of messages a pushed through our feeds daily. What will stand out? #TwitterSmarter
— Mila Buckley (@milabeeee) January 21, 2016
A5: You’ll loose attention, it’ll take up more time, it’ll decrease traffic to websites. #twittersmarter https://t.co/ynpEAcLKML
— Mel (@_melsroom) January 21, 2016
Q6: How will #Twitter10K help you learn more from your analytics? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/6a1bj66zXh
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A6 I’m sure we will get more and newer analytics shown to us- click thru rate, open rate-we lose that now when off platform #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A6. One hope could be more precise sentiment analysis due to better explained context #TwitterSmarter
— Falcon Social (@FalconSocial) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A6: More data & content, more numbers. Workloads just going to metamorphose. #TwitterSmarter
— Mehul (@mehulgohil) January 21, 2016
Q7: It’s said that Twitter is on a decline – how can #Twitter10K turn that around? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/tWPIRuIHkQ
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A7 only time will tell! But we know if it was OUR brand that was declining, we’d do SOMETHING! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/VEXfIvubHK
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar I’m not sure #Twitter10K will solve the problem. Twitter should listen to its user base to fix their decline. #TwitterSmarter
— John Birchfield (@jwbirchfield) January 21, 2016
A7 Impress users then you’ll impress investors #twittersmarter
— Andreea Cojocariu (@AndreeaC_T) January 21, 2016
Q8 last question: Now that you know more about #Twitter10K, are you less concerned about the change? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/8fwyiVPOmQ
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) January 21, 2016
A8 I for sure am. It scared me that we’d see 10k in our TL! Knowing we’ll have the same view is calming 🙂 #twittersmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
#twittersmarter I just it’s smart to keep talking about it so we aren’t just surprised IF it happens ?
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) January 21, 2016
A8) I’m just not convinced this will give Twitter a turnaround that it’s hoping for. #twittersmarter
— Kyle Murray (@TheKyleMurray) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A8: I am concerned but because twitter marketing will now need to be reshaped. Looking forward for responses #TwitterSmarter
— Sameera Khan (@Sameerakkhan) January 21, 2016
@MadalynSklar A8: Not so concerned. I always adjust to a platform’s changes if I’m already invested in the community. #TwitterSmarter
