Twitter pointless

Advertising

Twitter is mostly used for pointless babble and conversations between people, a study shows. Marketing intelligence firm Pear Analytics found that 40% of the tweets flowing on the site were about someone eating a sandwich or some other "pointless babble," and 37% were parts of conversations. A distant third were re-tweets, or messages with "pass along value," accounting for 9% of traffic; followed by self promotion, 6%, spam, 4% and news 4%.
