    Research Says Most Tweets are POINTLESS [Video]

    twitter-inactiveHow are people using and consuming Twitter?

    If you caught our previous post on “Top 5 Twitter Videos“, you’d probably guess it.

    Is Twitter about talking to no one and everyone?

    Peeranalytics goes hardcore and did a scientific research on this. The results are pretty interesting.

    Peeranalytics took 2,000 tweets from the public timeline (in English and in the US) over a 2-week period from 11:00am to 5:00pm (CST) and captured tweets in half-hour increments. Each tweet is classified into 6 different categories, namely:

    1. News

    2. Spam

    3, Self-Promotion

    4. Pointless Babble

    5. Conversational

    6. Pass-Along Value

    The Winners
    1. Pointless Babble 40.55%
