We’re doing some fascinating research here at Mindshare at the moment about how people and brands are using Twitter.

What’s coming out that is really interesting is how far different types of tweets travel and the relative value of having lots of followers who just receive tweets vs fewer more active retweeters and the journeys tweets can go out on, sometimes hitting seams of influence 8 or 9 layers removed.
