Hot from the retweetery, the BBC is reports that Pear Analyitcs has done a study showing that 40% of all twittering is babble. Another 37.5% is conversation, the rest is mostly self promotion and spam.
The Twitterverse is DOOMED. According to twitpocalypse.com twitter oceans will turn to blood, and the twitter will burst into Web 2.0 flames, immolating all its users and their computers, pdas, phones, etc. AND IT WILL (probably) HAPPEN TOMORROW. Actually some third-party twitter services might break for a while because of a math/computery thing that is slightly difficult to understand (like Y2K, but with negative numbers). But it's okay! You can take this quiz to find out what to do. God help you if you are twitter. UPDATE: TECH CRUNCH is saying “This crash was supposed to happen sometime tomorrow, according to the countdown, but it looks like Twitter has just moved up the Twitpocalypse time to 21:00 GMT, which is 2 PM Pacific/5PM Eastern time today.” THAT'S Almost NOW!!!
