Micah’s “Black people on Twitter” theory
My friend Micah noticed that the Twitter trending topics attract a lot of tweets from non-geeky people: People who use text-speak, and more minorities, women, and teens than in the tech geek crowd (white guys with collars and spelling).
His theory: “These people don’t have real Twitter friends. So they all respond to trending topics. And that’s the game, that’s how they use Twitter.”
Insightful? Or kind of offensive?
So twitter is going crazy with a blog with a link to Nick’s above tumble… I said his name to myself and remembered he did a show for Next New Networks, http://goggleburn.com :( LOL, pay this guy no mind…
