Parts of this are a little off, at least in how I use twitter.<p>&quot;There is zero incentive in the product to interact with celebrities on Twitter, because no one will see the responses.&quot;<p>Maybe true for the 1mm+ follower people, but ironically, this is 90+% of how I actually use Twitter.  I tweet at a mid-high volume (100k-&gt;500k) individual, and occasionally get a response, more often get a fave, and ever so often get a retweet.<p>For &lt; 50k follower people, I almost always get a response if what I sent was thoughtful.<p>Also, I love looking at the responses to tweets - and often respond to <i>those</i> responses, and get a thread going with the responder - often dropping out the original person who tweeted altogether.<p>I&#x27;m not saying all is well in twitter world - but I quite enjoy (perhaps too much) the back and forth&#x2F;threading&#x2F;responding that twitter offers.  I really, really don&#x27;t need any more.
