Project Rethink

Below are the results from my survey, “How do you use Twitter?”.  You can download the raw survey data here. I didn’t have time to correlate all the data, but if someone wants to take the raw data and correlate how “new” twitter users use the system vs “old” twitter users, I think that would provide some additional insights.
