Twittering Away Time

A new study from Pear Analytics reveals that some 40% of tweets are "Pointless Babble." Anyone in the least surprised?

I am a big fan of Twitter and a user: @asocialcontract  But I have written in the past of the banality of tweets. Here are some examples from today:

Ethanjames5: My roomate is frying bacon naked...hope he does not burn his weiner.

Jewlery2TheSea: Picking my ears for earwax...

And the most insightful of all:

rasheedparker: the rate of my tweets illustrates my boredom

I myself berated a colleague at GoDaddy.com for tweeting about tasty broccoli!

That being said, I have been tweeting and blogging today which perhaps provides a view into my life  

Thankfully my few tweets did not focus on food or bodily functions. In fact, I thought tweeting about the launch of a Wordpress URL shortner using wp.me was quite cool.
