Most Tweets are "pointless babble," says study

article published on 14 August, 2009

A new study, conducted by Pear Analytics, has revealed that most of the Tweets written on Twitter are "pointless babble." The study placed Tweets into six categories, pointless babble, conversational, pass-along value, spam, news and self-promotion and found that most Tweets fell into the first category.

In fairness to Pear Analytics they apparently only decided to do this study after their funding to find out whether water is wet ran out.
Piont of order here.

Water is not wet it is the catalyst which causes something else to become wet.

You never put your hand in water and say "this water is wet" do you? You say "my hand is wet"!

Just being pedantic.

i have a myspace page and i have successfully checked the updates once every 2-3 months. so it's....

back in my college days, i joined most of the current social networking sites of the time, but never really paid much attention to them. some are still around, but are dead. i reluctantly joined myspace a few years ago. i was terribly unimpressed but at least more of my associates that i wanted to be bothered with were on it. now everyone is on facebook. i'm NOT joining that. i thought about looking into twitter maybe -- only to see what the fuss is. but i have no strong urge to use it.

how old do you have to be to be too old for myspace/facebook/twitter??

Uk.. about 25 (iq age 3) or if a Kiwi.. well.. granny probably likes it better than the kids..

"we took 4 cardboard tubes of the kind you normally find in rolls of ordinary household toilet tissue. We wanted to find out if they would support the weight of a human man. We placed them equidistant on the floor thus .. .. crunch... NO.."

Another pointless fail.. research funding fails again.. why not research if the sun is up or down or martians like MTV?

Couldn't have said it any better.
