After the massive anticlimax of the UK’s AV vote on Thursday, Tweetminister published this research, hilariously titled “proportional representation” haha, showing that very few people on Twitter really cared one way or the other, preffering instead to talk about the Royal Wedding & Britains Got Talent?
What does this tell us about social media? Something fundamental & pretty obvious…even with lots of content & a team of experts who know how to use Twitter to get that content out there, if the topic doesn’t connect with the audience then it ain’t gonna get talked about.
Politics it seems is not an interesting topic, & it seems the old adage is still true…”you can’t polish a turd”.
