Apparently 40 Percent of Twitter is Useful and Significant
In his own inimitable way, Stephen Fry comments on a study that finds that 60% of Twitter is Pointless Babble.
Does that mean that the other 40% is not!?!
I would have thought the pointless babble quotient (PBQ) of Twitter was more like 99.5%.
As Mr. Fry says: "Bollocky bollocks to the lot of them."
While I'm on the subject, it's interesting to consider some other PBQ's.
My 12th grade math teacher? 78%.
Cable news chatter? 87%.
Elevator conversation? 97%.
