  • 55% share links to stories, 12% at least once per day.
  • 54% tweet humorous or life in general, 16% said so daily.

  • I’m connected to Twitter all day via Hootsuite Mobile App or Hootsuite on my desktop…. Monitoring multiple accounts and responding to all @ replies and DMs… Once a month I take 1 whole day off from the internet….

    • I’m pretty much the same way Rich. Use Hootsuite on my desktop, but UberTwitter on my phone more so than Hootsuite Mobile. The take a whole day off every month, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea :-)
