The Twitter

I've been using the Twitter micro-blogging service for around 16 months now. I'm a fan. I've spent a bit of time recently data-mining Twitter (mostly work-related). I took a quick glance at my own usage patterns in this blog post. I'll spare you the mathematical details and provide the condensed version here.

I've been using Twitter for 1 year, 3 months, and 21 days.

I've posted 1487 status message updates (tweets).

I've averaged 3.125 tweets per day.
