It would be interesting to know how many tweets are now generated automatically (vs. an actual human doing the tweet).

Not only were my followers mostly spammers, the others were self-infatuated glory seekers who only wanted to promote themselves. I also set up a test account on Twitter with NO UPDATES on it at all and it is getting 'followers' despite nothing to follow. This means automated spam bots are following everyone so they can spam everyone no thanks. I canceled my account yesterday and felt liberated from the hype - and that's all Twitter is, pure hype for suckers I tried Twitter for about 7 months and found it was useless.

The Pew study asked if people where using "Twitter or another update service". The story is written as if 19% are on Twitter, and the study is 19% are using update services. Twitter is but a percentage of that overall market. The title and story are a bit misleading. The Pew study asked if people where using “Twitter or another update service”.
