Study reveals top five words on Twitter, interesting trends

New media blog ReadWriteWeb teamed up with search engine Summize to study who exactly is on Twitter and what they tweet. One interesting finding: Five percent of all tweets are produced by the top 100 active accounts, and many of these are not people, but rather feed bots, like the one we use at Twitter Gossip.

The top five words people send on twitter? “Test,” “lol,” “working,” a smiley emoticon, and “sleeping.” They also found “that there are three main types of conversations going on.” First are status messages like “going to sleep.” Second there are short-term memes like an episode of a TV show or the death of a celebrity. Finally are long-term memes like the presidential race. Read the story.
