Crowd Science has a pretty cool post on research they have done into Twitter usage. One of the most interesting stats I saw was that 41% of Twitter users prefer to contact their friends via social media rather than telephone. As I consider how I interact with a large percentage of my friends, I’d probably agree with that for many of my contacts! Of course, given the mobile nature of Twitter and the increasingly mobile access points for other social media, I sure hope that the cell phone providers are thinking this through and building their networks to support the massive amount of data traffic/the shift to data that is coming…
However, my favorite finding from the study was that 22% of users had at some point posted something via social media that they later regretted.
