Apple
image source: The official Twitter account of @apple
What’s with this fruit-based title of a larger than the large, extremely sophisticated and highly approved, almost a trillion dollar valued company’s account?
For one, it has 1.72 Million followers, yet follows none.
Tweets to the world gaining thousands of retweets in minutes, yet there is no tweet from the account.
Has multiple active verified official accounts related to its various services and support yet this account @apple , which existed since 2011, still remains the same, with not even a bio?
Why not just use the twitter account like it is meant to be? Tweet to the world and utilize the power of connections to the maximum, keep everyone updated always.
The account seems to be active only when there is a new release, with tweets describing the product floating around in large. The term floating has been used because they don’t tweet from the account. It is all a part of paid promotional tweeting.
Is this because they’re super shy or is it because they want to have a total control over what information they want us to know and when?
Maybe it is just another way to prove that when you’re so popular, you can still make news by not saying anything. The increasing followers say it all in spite of no reaction or any form of communication.
That's a great question, do they delete the tweets after or only RT others? Could be a good marketing but maybe this handle doesn't need marketing any more!

Yes, it's something so good, it doesn't even need to say its good now.
DeleteInteresting thoughts. I always thought the name 'Apple' and the logo were a bit odd, like what did that ever have to do with computers and phones?
ReplyDeleteYes, just about anything random can play out to be so significant with millions of users and fans now.
DeleteNow how come I never noticed that :-) Interesting thought. #A2ZChallenge

DeleteIntriguing thought. They have gained enough to bother about making noise, because they anyway do with their every product :)
