10 (Tongue-in-Cheek) Reasons Why You Don't Need Twitter

I read lots of articles about why Twitter ^[2] makes good business sense. However, I find few articles explaining why I don’t need it. Here are my top 10 reasons, in no particular order.

1. You don’t want to connect with the movers ^[3] and shakers ^[4] in your industry.

2. You don’t want the movers ^[5] and shakers ^[6] in your industry to connect with you.

3. You’re too busy to schmooze with the people you already know ^[7].

4. You don’t need to meet more people ^[8] because your Rolodex is already huge.

5. You don’t want to understand how the “rock stars” such as Chris Brogan ^[9], Guy Kawasaki ^[10], David Meerman Scott ^[11] and Jeremiah Owyang ^[12] think.

6. You really believe Twitter is all about what people are eating for breakfast ^[13] or dinner.

7. You believe Twitter is a fad ^[14].

8. You prefer to get your news 24 hours ^[15] after it happens.

9. You don’t need to be alerted to new industry reports ^[16], ground breaking research ^[17] or articles.

10. You are G-d ^[18] and everyone already knows you.

Feel free to add more reasons to this list.
