Seriously, great post!

If I can give an example: a younger person might find an older person smarter because they do not understand the subject the person tweets about as well. They may also find another person of similar age group more entertaining than someone in another demographic because of shared interests and life experience. These are minor things though, as what we are talking about here. i guess, is perceptions. i find it quite interesting to see how twitter is attracting so much of this type of study and how these types of studies are influencing the behaviour of the people using twitter who relate back to them. I find the whole culture quite fascinating. thanks for the post! as with most surveys the value will come from the way the group filling the survey out was chosen.

This is rad. I also would like to know if this included @replies. The replies can mean any number of things that they may or may not be, taken outside of the context of the original message. If they included the replies, was the turker given access to the other feed as well? y'all are gettin' a new follower. well done. Whoa. This is rad.

I couldn't agree more, so I'll assume the rest of these results as fairly accurate as well. I chuckled to see one person I dropped as dumber and less entertaining.
