500 text messages a day? Does not sound like your typical teenager. I can’t think of many people who have the time to text 500 times a day. Maybe a week?

It’s been shown that 40% of Tweets on Twitter was pure babble. It was also shown 60% of people sign up and never come back. Another fact is that the median number of tweets is one.

Although it’s grown to the 3rd biggest social networking site it’s unclear how popular it really is.

It’s growth is actually slowing.

I also am not keen on the huge amount of publicity it has received by supposed impartial news networks such as the BBC. I wrote a post on it here: http://newsknot.com/2009/08/twitter-and-the-bbc/
