A survey was shown with some interesting results about the effects of tweeting. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/social.media/10/12/wired.tweets.ignored/index.html?hpt=T2
Of particular interest is the part where they talk about any tweets past one hour largely go unnoticed. THis is an important point for us to consider as we tweet and talk about events in openSUSE. I've always said in the past its not a good idea for everyone to tweet all at once. Its better to spread out your tweets and try to target specific timezones when you know your followers are most likely to see what you have posted. This is known as attention-deficit marketing and its a very real and ever-increasing phenomenon in marketing where if you don't have a person's attention at the exact moment that you are conveying your message, you can pretty much say goodbye to your time and effort on that moment. Tweeting remains an important tool for us, but it becomes ever more clearer that we need strategic and plentiful tweets.
