Ironically, this post would make a much more appropriate tweet, but nontheless I thought it worth posting here. Pear Analytics has audited Twitter content and found that only about 1 in 10 message has any real value, and as much as 40% of tweets are "pointless babble". For the curious, that category includes posts like "I"m having a sandwich."
