As someone who's spent a considerable amount of time analyzing twitter data, the most tweets come from a small cadre of "social media experts", which is the web 2.0 term for useless spammer.

Seriously, #1 should have been "the bot"

This is a list of people who "belong" on Twitter.

Twitter isn't just for people who are famous or who acquire fame. Most of my twitter feed is from people I personally know, only some of it is from people who have thousands of followers. Twitter isn't just a broadcast medium, it's also a narrowcast medium, extremely useful for friends to keep in touch.

i disagree. twitter is just the blogosphere in shorthand.

if this also applied to the blogosphere then yes. but no. so fail.

This accurately explains why I don't like twitter.
