A report came out this week about Twitter, regarding how users new to Twitter use the service, a STATE OF THE TWITTERSPHERE, if you will.
In short, the conclusion is that the vast majority of Twitter accounts are inactive at best. Some users sign in and tweet just once, resulting in an “ORPHAN TWEET“. If you happen to run across one yourself, feel free to retweet it with the #orphantweet hashtag.
The bigger question, however, is how prevelant are these orphan tweets? Consider this: as in real-life, so goes Twitter: the top 10% of the most active Twitter users account for over 90% of the overall Twitter traffic.

You know that part of the DVD party game, SCENE IT, where they show a scene from a film but all the actors have been digitally removed from the scene as if they were an invisible man? The concept is called INVISIBLES and was first seen online on the FILM WISE website many years ago. Film Wise has over 400 Invisibles quizzes on their site, so it certainly will fill up your day as you try to figure some of those out.
Josh Highland, as we saw in Web Watch yesterday, is classified on Tweeting Too Hard as being a narcisstic Twitter tool. Not at the top of the list, but a tool nonetheless.
But he doesn’t deserve to be on that list. He just tweets about things that are meaningful to him.
Like trying to get 20,000 Twitter users to follow him.

A few months ago, Web Watch posted a CALCULATION TO DETERMINE HOW NARCISSTIC A CELEBRITY WAS IN USING TWITTER.
It ends up that we didn’t need to bother, as a calculation is unnecessary.
TWEETING TOO HARD is a look at what people are Twittering about, and if you find your tweets getting posted on the site, the general consensus will be, “Yes, you ARE a tool… and here’s the proof.”
You’ve seen Photomosaics before, right? That’s where you take hundreds or thousands of pictures and then combine them into one giant picture of something else?
You know, like this Tigger jigsaw puzzle. The image is made of thousands upon thousands of animated cells, combined to make a single image of Tigger.
Well, here’s a website that lets you do the same sort of thing, but using YouTube videos instead. (Thanks, Alain!)
