Although published earlier this month, the Crawler recently picked up a story about sociologist Liz Cullen’s study of Twitter and how one might define the ‘sociology of Twitter.’
ReadWriteWeb, which posted the story and the video below, reports:
Sociologist and ethnographer, Liz Pullen, spent a month tracking the top 500 Twitter users (as ranked by number of followers) as well as the much-contested suggested users list. In tracking these accounts, she also closely analyzed the behaviors of new adopters and their expectations of the service. Perhaps her conclusions will help us all understand – and hopefully improve – the dismal attrition rates for the service.
