40 percent of Twitter messages 'pointless babble': study

I stole that headline from the original article. Now to add a big “Duh”. Really, they needed to study that? Maybe they did, I would have thought it was closer to 80%. I am guessing, based on conversations I have overheard, that the same number of wireless phone calls are “pointless babble”. I have followed a few people on Twitter and ultimately found that they were a waste of time and a crashing bore. Some are informative, but very few.

The original study can be found at Pear Analytics.
