Pointless Babble on Twitter
A recent study carried out on Twitter tweets carried out by Pear Analytics, reports that 40% of the tweets on Twitter are pointless babble, where they tell people illuminations such as "I'm eating a sandwich now" Only 9% of the tweets were categorized as having pass-along value.
Hear! Hear!
Twitter can be a valuable source of information, but it can be difficult to wade through all the babble to find it. Hopefully this evolves. Here's a good report on the Study.
