The relevant article is: Twitter tweets are 40% 'babble'

The relevant text:

A short-term study of Twitter has found that 40% of the messages sent via it are "pointless babble."

...

Almost as prevalent as the babble were "conversational" tweets that used it as a surrogate instant messaging system.

The study found that only 8.7% of messages could be said to have "value" as they passed along news of interest.

This is one of those times when you should probably read the article. Basically, the testing is not what I'd call a representative sample, but their hypothesis was that spam and self-promotion would make up most of the content. In fact, most of it is garbage, just a different kind of garbage than they were expecting. Twitter: garbage.

That is all.
