40% of Tweets are pointless babble

[vamp rocks]

40?? hah... 99.9%

theres the occasional thing thats useful...

The study found that only 8.7% of messages could be said to have "value" as they passed along news of interest.

I believe this is more accurate.

So that leaves 51.3% that are neither pointless nor useful. What exactly does that mean?

Useless but with some sort of point.....that point is probably irrevalent and most likely you really couldn't care less.

I've got no problem with Twitter apart from people who tweet about a film while they're sitting in the fucking cinema. If any of you do this, cut that shit out. When I'm sat in a dark room trying to be immersed in a movie, the last thing I need is some twat's mobile phone light ruining the experience for me just because they couldn't wait until the end of the fucking movie before sharing their opinion with everyone else.

Twitter should be hung, drawn and quartered...
Repeatedly, Congrats to the kid who took it down

I agree.

Okay Twitter, the point of this site is to sum up what you are up too in so many words.

Effectively sad people typing out their shit so that even sadder people can read it.

What I don't get is if these people are on Twitter telling everyone what they are up too at that time then surely that's seventy kagillion posts all saying I am typing shit on Twitter!
