While things are not looking good at Twitter, it is not yet time to characterize it as the social network’s death spiral. Still, speculation is fun (and inevitable), and one of the prospects about which some people are speculating is the impact a Twitterless world will have on social listening activities. Neville and Shel explore the possibility — along with some other potential fallout should Twitter shut down — in this short midweek episode of “For Immediate Release.”

The next monthly, long-form episode of FIR will drop on Monday, November 21.


We host a Communicators Zoom Chat each Thursday at 1 p.m. ET. For credentials needed to participate, contact Shel or Neville directly, request the credentials in our Facebook group, or email [email protected].


Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
