Motorola Cliq Hasn’t Performed To Sales Expectations! Goodbye Cliq

The Motorola Cliq hasn’t performed at the sales levels expected by the devices manufacturer. The Cliq, which debuted with battery issues (a very short battery life), saw sales decrease after that issue was discovered and T-Mobile apparently lost interest in the device as others debuted.

As pointed out by Electronista:

The Cliq’s MOTOBLUR interface has also been criticized by some users. Early reports noted difficulty with social networking features, along with a cramped keyboard and a comparatively small screen.

T-Mobile is denying that they’ve lost interest in the device, even defending sales number, Spokesperson Alexandra Trask told FierceWireless:

“That couldn’t be farther from the truth. This is a device we’re really excited about for the holiday season,” she told FierceWireless. Users should expect an over-the-air firmware update to address the hardware problems, although Trask claims the batteries have not performed below expectations.

Twitter Stats: Tweet once and never again

Recently I’ve posted about an interesting stat of the blogsphere: Over 95% of current blogs in Internet are abandoned, and one of the reasons that I’ve mentioned is the existence of Twitter. Well, I guess similar stats always comes in two. A study made from the Harvard Business revealed a lot of stats regarding to Twitter users, including one related to their users and how they abandon twitter.

10% of the Twitter accounts hold the 90% of the tweets available every day, and most of the users that register themselves usually uses one or two tweets and leave the account completely. Here are some other stats from the report:

So, what we can say about this inconsistency in blogs and twitter? People that start a blog and/or a twitter account but they never update it again… well I’m sure that the answer is one thing, perseverance it’s not a quality for most of us. Specially when we have some expectations and we don’t see a quick result, like I mentioned about blogs and how people relate to that as a “financial independance” and rapidly get disappointed.

Do you persevere with your blogs and twitter?
