A study at webpronews.com shows that twitter is at least 40% useless.
People who believe that Twitter's useful and important are not going to be pleased with the results of a new study. Pear Analytics tried to categorize 2,000 tweets, and found that 40.55 percent of them fell into the "pointless babble" bucket.

Showbiztalk did an article recently on boxofficemojo's calculation that the movie Gone with the wind from the year 1939 was be the top grossing film of all time if adjusted for inflation. Just one film in the past 15 years made the top 10 and the highest grossing movie of the 21st century, which was The Dark Knight (2008), ranking 27th overall. Curious to note that all the movies in the top 10 (except for one, E.T.) were before the year 1980, when few movies were made to compete with each other. To bolster that statistic, the top 20 had only 6 movies that were made before the year 2000: Return of the Jedi 1983, Jurassic Park 1993, Phantom Menace 1999, Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981, Empire Strikes Back 1980, and ET from 1982.
Well, I never knew such a thing existed. Last month, I asked my ebay expert of brother to help me how to make my first bid. There was a buy it now post at $48, to which we ignored and tried to bid first at $2.
Much to my surprise, when the deadline for the auction for that item neared, the price already shot up near $80. Anyway, even if i monitored the last few seconds of the bid, I noticed there seemed to be some automatic un-humanlike bidding going on to get the best higher bids for thos who really wanted the product.
My bro said this was due to ebay sniping software. What the hell?
