Get schooled on Twitter ... by UK government

If you’re still not hep to the Twitter, that new-fangled InterWebs thingy all the kids are talking about, you’re far from alone. A recent LinkedIn Research Network/Harris Poll survey found a whole lot of people who don’t know a re-tweet from a hashtag.
The fact that out of 2,025 adults questioned, a whopping 69 percent didn’t feel they knew enough to comment on the hot and happenin’ microblogging site may be a bit of a bummer to all the advertising and marketing researchers hoping to reap the benefits by tuning into Twitter’s top trending topics that may or may not represent the mindset of the masses.
Whatever. Even within the miniscule polling pool, those results aren’t much of a surprise to those watching this current trend of social media unfold with a jaded eye. Most people, marketers and mega-media behemoths operate Twitter on a seriously steep learning curve, spewing out feeds of what pretty much amounts to self-serving spam destined to be lost in a sea of who-really-gives-a-damn.
