    pretty sure the most common words on my account are 'book' 'lit' 'read' 'characters' ... and probably 'intriguing' because I love that word! :)

    I mostly tweet about things I'm reading, but I just link to what I'm reading (w/out saying I'm reading)

    Any study would have to consider the difficulty in tweeting while doing things like mountain climbing or having sex. It's simply not as easy to do...

    Some of my friends like to tweet with #poopatwork.
  • SocksForHappyPeople · 2 months ago
    I disagree!

    At Socks for Happy People we tweet about cool socks and happiness!

    If there's anything we're not, it's mundane!

    This is interesting, but very true about posting quality tweets. It makes the whole experience more fun.

    pretweeting's been fun but oftentimes, the winner has just been bidding on day-cycle words at the appropriate times.

    We are all sheep. We each have our nose in the ass of the one in front of us while the nose of the one behind us has his or her nose in ours. The only ones without their noses in the ass of another are the very few at the very front of the herd. That's why life stinks like shit to all but a very few of us.

    Wow. You seem like a fun person.
  • xiombix · 2 months ago
    we were quite curious after reading your post as to why we tweet even though we have no followers.

    so far one year of tweets.

    maybe we just need to purge ourselves.

    I mostly microblog about DubLi, I'm trying to get people to see how AWESOME the service is. Where else are you going to win a vacation valued at $30,000 for just $6500?

    Exactly. Go see!

    lots of comments before me questioning this.
    one more thing, on a strictly analytical point of view. the fact that the most frequent posts include "work", "home", "lunch" and "sleep" mainly means, that this is what everyone does. in no case does it mean that this all what we do. while only a certain percentage of a population plays guitar, another percentage snowboards, and a thirs plays tennis, hundred percent of people eat, sleep and go to work.
    i have a feeling this study doesn't really reveal anything beyond the very obvious

    I have been on twitter for over 7 months now and I simply love it! Thanks to tweeps that help me spread my reach by adding 200+ tweeps to my followers count everyday.
  • Ryan Biddulph · 2 months ago
    Lunch and sleep are the only necessities. What is 'work', BTW? I have fun at home, does this count?
  • gabybali · 2 months ago
    Work, home,sleep, lunch, and love - what better words to describe beautiful life we have to share on Twitter. I should add one more very important word that must be abundantly tweeted as weel : TRAVEL!

    Thanks for the post!

    Those 60 percent who don't return are likely following people who tweet words like "work and "bored." They're probably doing the same with their accounts and grow bored quickly.

    People love Twitter or hate it. I have heard "Why do I care about what someone else is doing all day?" so many times. I suppose it takes an open mind and patience to find pleasure in Twitter.

    I would like to see more recent and accurate results from the April study, however I understand it would be difficult, because so many people use Tweetdeck and mobile devices.
