It's really interesting stuff. (In fact, it gives me some food for thought for a future post on our own blog -- in which case I'll be sure to cite this one!) As a follower of Chris Brogan, I can say that the nature of his tweets is very much to provide focused conversation and point people to interesting information. He explained it once on a blog post about how he deals with an information stream from thousands of followers. By its very nature, he can't have very many meaningful interactions with that many people, so his Twitter stream becomes more of a broadcast medium, hence the high number of outbound URLs. People like iJustine who are almost purely social can likewise be expected to live inside Twitter and point more to their own URLs, such as blog posts and podcasts. Looking forward to future analyses. Cheers, Heidi Strom Moon Director of Marketing CDG Interactive www.cdginteractive.com Nick:
