		<description>Hi Robert,

I appear to be following you on Twitter so I thought I would drop in and say hi on your blog.

I do agree with your post about Twitter. I have been on for about the same time as yourself. It is great but it has just struck me if we are in a moment of time which won&#039;t last. We are still in the early adopters clique despite Twitters massive growth and while Scoble, Fry, Kawasaki may knock out the odd reply at the moment what will happen when they get thousands more followers? 

Is it just going to get unsustainable for them to have anykind of &#039;relationship&#039; with their followers and we could just go back to reading their blogs or listenning passively to their tweets.

I kind of feel this way about Guy Kawasaki at the moment. his tweets seem to me pretty impersonal and just links to stuff he has noted.

I tend to think that as real &#039;brands&#039; try and move into the Twitter sphere the same thing will happen. We don&#039;t really want to enguage with a pair of Nike trainers of a can of Cola. What will they have to say of value to me? I don&#039;t really want to hear from their CEO or PR person either or what they had for breakfast. :-)

I&#039;m just ranting off here (in fact this may get a transfer to my blog).

Hope you where out of the storms

All the best Dave ~~&gt;Allihies</description>

		<description>On the social side, I think twitter is great.  I also think that business can harness the strength of this tool also.  I think that branding and relationship building can occur as well.
