An actual study was performed to find out what Tweeters are busy babbling about - the answer: basically nothing. We here to The Cyberculturalist could've saved them a whole lot of money, but I digress...
The study, performed by Pear Analytics, "eavesdropped" on the service at 1/2 hour intervals everyday for 40 days, collecting tweets they then sorted into one of six categories. They discovered that over 75% of communications on Twitter were conversational "babble." Further, less than 10% of all tweets had any useful information.
That's why we call 'em "twits," guys.
