An article on Computer World entitled “Twitter Tips: How to Catch Up After a Few Days Away,” further validates that Twitter’s real-time approach to communication is also one of its biggest challenges, namely because most followers agree that they either read tweets right away or not at all. This is one of the reasons why I started a weekly wrapup and why it’s something I highly recommend.
