A baffling statistic
According to this NY Times article about Twitter, “90 percent of users agree to have all their posts available to the public”. This is all the more baffling considering that twitter now allows any user to be alerted in real time about anyone who mentions any string publicly. Public blogging I can understand but isn’t microblogging about the kind of hour by hour minutiae that only your friends will be interested in?

What a fascinating stat. I wonder about Twitter demographics and this - are posters the sorts of people who tend to exhibit themselves, such as youth and techies?
