I think you will find that most artists and their management are not clued up on <strong>Twitter</strong>. They only went as far as <strong>Facebook</strong>, which sorely still lacks the 1-on-1 realtime quality of Twitter. I suppose they heard of twitter but they had expectations of it working the same way as Facebook (i.e "what's so special about a website that only serves <strong><i>status updates</i></strong>? I can do that and a lot more on Facebook!"). I suppose most people have not realised that it's the wide selection of <strong>applications</strong> built around the twitter api that have made it so valuable (e.g twhirl, tweetdeck, etc.). I think that's where a bit of education is needed. Let's hope that in time everyone will wise up and realise what they are missing by being twitterless. Nice selection.
