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?

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

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.
