Edward (Ed) Borasky Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:44:38 +0000 http://www.malcolmcoles.co.uk/blog/?p=4229#comment-8970 Actually, the number of tweets posted from the main Twitter web site is almost 40 percent now! http://borasky-research.net/2010/03/25/so-you-want-to-write-a-twitter-client-good-luck/ I can't answer the question of what percentage of Twitter *views* come from the web, though. Links shortened with "bit.ly" can be tracked, both individually and in the aggregate. For example, my bit.ly link to the above blog post is http://meb.tw/9iRfxU. Add a "+" on the end of it and you get the statistics link: http://meb.tw/9iRfxU+ Actually, the number of tweets posted from the main Twitter web site is almost 40 percent now! http://borasky-research.net/2010/03/25/so-you-want-to-write-a-twitter-client-good-luck/

We would need a breakdown of the internet use of the other arrivals and what they mean for current habits and expected future habits. We also need to see the % of Twitter referrals as a % of Twitter referrals and how referrals elsewhere compete on "keywords" or some such other comparison. We also want to see the links in the other direction. To what extent are newspapers embedded. What are they curating exactly? What is their "role"? They have a role in reaching people who are not internet-enabled. They have a role in picking up the phone and ringing old-power. What other role do they play? An interesting PhD for someone.
