Originally, the tweet limit was 140 characters, but the limit was raised to 280 characters. According to Pear Analytics, over 40% of tweets are pointless babble, 37.6% of tweets are controversial, 8.7% of tweets are pass-along value, 5.9% of tweets are self-promotion, 3.8% of tweets are spam, and 3.6% of tweets are news.

  14. How can I remove my Twitter account permanently. Here is my situation: 1. I don´t remember my password anymore. 2. I don´ t remember my e-mail address to which I’ve sent my contact information if password’s missing. (The new account has been made also two years ago and in being drunk – and not used since then). 3. The situation is hopless – The account with unpleasant pictures of me has been there now for two years. I made the account when I was drunk and I can’t rememeber much else of that night. So there are these pictures which are capturing my social life and for example, job-hunting, school in social means and the reputation in the future. In according to the civil rights, am I foced to live in prison for the rest of my life because of what I did almost like by mistake in the past. Why doesn’t Twitter support and maintenance take care things like that? I red from somewhere that the account is removed automatically if it’s not used for half year. In my case, the punishment still goes on and on….for 2 years exactly right now. What the hell should I do. If someone could remove the account, I’d give my little finger for that action. It would be a salvation, a new start to my life. Please help the hopeless!
