Twitter's analytics will reveal that a depressingly tiny portion of them will actually click on the link.

True.

Also true: Very few of the Twitter engagements mean anything at all. Clicking a Twitter link is extremely low cost. If you're not even willing to do that, you don't care about the topic or the person that tweeted it.

Unfortunately these Twitter metrics are then packaged up to show on the next investor pitch. It's a vicious cycle.
