The cost of Twitter

Today I got my cell phone bill and learned something else about Twitter . My addiction is costing me, but not enough to get me to stop.

My Sprint contract allows for 100 two-way text messages a month, for $5. But this month I logged 191 additional text messages, at 20 cents a message, for an additional $38.20. I follow fewer than 20 people—a small number, really—and track several topics that haven’t appeared in all that many tweets. Guess I’ll be visiting Sprint to change my service contract.

Twitter addiction is a growing trend, as you can read here . Have you ever thought about how much money people spend to stay connected (I’m thinking postage rates + broadband access + phone contracts + mobile data, etc.)? Or how much your customers are paying to follow your brand or get updates from your company? Charlotte Ziems, VP, client engagement
