If 4 percent of those twittering are the most influential in their areas/fields/interests etc that's what counts.<br /><br />Isn't that the trend in marketing anyway? Advocacy and Evangelism that leads to share growth for a brand?<br /><br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-6598157857564544362010-12-09T10:16:21.343-05:002010-12-09T10:16:21.343-05:00My guess is that 8% is also the rate of extreme na...My guess is that 8% is also the rate of extreme narcissism that one would find in the general population if you looked into the records kept by the American Psychiatric Association.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
