Rutgers University professors Mor Naaman and Jeffrey Boase examined 3,000 tweets and determined that 80% of Twitter users are "meformers" or people who express their feelings, thoughts, and statuses. The other 20% are "informers" who are sharing links and non-personal information. Also, informers tended to have more followers than meformers though meformers are not necessarily self-indulgent but are using their type of messages to maintain social ties. (Found via Mashable)

The 80/20 rule on Twitter. Guess this and most of my other posts put me in the 20% bucket.
