Wayward Disposition
I just saw this in my Twitter feed, posted by Times Magazine as a retweet from Techland. Instead of retweeting it myself, I figured I would blog it to all of you!
Maybe if you all followed me on twitter I could retweet it too.
*cough cough* Check the upper right hand corner for my Twitter link. Follow me. *cough*
Whew, okay. Now that that's out of my system on with the post.
According to a Yahoo research team, only about 20,000 individuals, 1 percent of the Twitter user base, are responsible for OVER half of all tweets in the database.
These users are mainly media, celebrities, organizations, and bloggers. That's some pretty insane stuff. I wonder what percentage produces the second half of tweets.
Talk to me:
1. Do you use twitter? How often and in what way?
2. How many times did I use a variation of the word "tweet" in my post?
3. Do you follow huge twitter contributors like media sources and celebrities?
4. Do you like mac & cheese?

That's no surprise. I've seen corporates with 100k+ tweets.
1. Too often. Too many ways.
2. I wasn't counting.
3. Some, like mashable, the guardian, etc.
4. I'm not sure if this is a trick question or not?
no surprise. I made an account and have only had 1 tweet. And there are countless others that i know of that just do following and no tweeting.
1. no not anymore..
2. 2 times? hehe
3, nah horrible website^
4. Linux i like.. ;)
Yeah I can believe that figure, I'm sure I'd be in the top 1% if I could employ somebody to tweet for me. I think that same 1% probably have over half of the worlds wealth as well.
1. no despite insinuating that i did in my reply.
2. 3 i think.
3. I quite often click on "latest" when using google which inevitably leads me to tweets.
4. osx and windows 7???
That makes sense. There's TONS of account that are just used for spamming, or personal reasons. Unless you're well known, there's no reason to tweet often.
its an extension of the old media it seems?
Most of us aren't self obsessed?
1.I used to but it's lame.
2. Never
3. Eli Roth, because he tweeted one of my Youtube videos.

1)ya, not often but i do, to annnoy my friends
2)no clue maybe like 3 times?
