Twitter is full of pointless babble

[SteamWake]

Who would have guessed this. Even though Im supprised the spam is not a higher percentage.


Less than one in ten tweets have any real "pass-along value" and more than 40 percent of tweets are “pointless babble,” a study by the research firm showed.

Yes, Twitter is a bore really. Do I really need to read in real time, 'I'm making popcorn, yum.' Really, who cares?

[antikristuseke]

Some people apparently do, I only cared ennough to read this thread, go meh and get myself another beer.

Twitter is pointless. Yes, and smoking is bad for you. Duh.

Allso, alcohol might damage your health and impair judgement. While sex without a condom might lead to pregnancy.

I can only imagine Twitter being anything other than a fad if I were at major event and I could not broadcast in real time video.

The figures from SteamWakes quote could quite easily be applied to GT too.;)

Though I agree, Twitter is useless. Tried it, forgotten about it.

Sorry, I would have replied faster, but I was posting a twitter telling everyone that I was participating in this thread.

Time well spent, all I have managed to do is take a few sips of beer while watching a quantum mechanics lecture on youtube.

But people seem to think that people care about their pointless babble.

I don't know if Twitter makes money but hey they sure got an audience.

This is the sad thing about mobiles etc is that people communicate too much so that at the end of the day they have nothing to say.

I wonder if that matches up with traditional face to face communication.

People talking is probably 10% value and 40% pointless babble too.
