Information vs Confusion, too much or too little.
The right amount of information is key, information overload leads to confusion and no information breeds confusion.
A great little chart from Indexed who provide some thought provoking doodles. Keep it up guys.

This is an analysis I have come across via TechCrunch from RJMetrics
It gives a comprehensive view of the universe that is Twitter and its users, below are some of the key findings..
Twitter’s user growth is no longer accelerating. The rate of new user acquisition has plateaued at around 8 million per month.
Over 14% of users don’t have a single follower, and over 75% of users have 10 or fewer followers.
38% of users have never sent a single tweet, and over 75% of users have sent fewer than 10 tweets.
1 in 4 registered users tweets in any given month.
Once a user has tweeted once, there is a 65% chance that they will tweet again. After that second tweet, however, the chance of a third tweet goes up to 81%.
If someone is still tweeting in their second week as a user, it is extremely likely that they will remain on Twitter as a long-term user.
Users who joined in more recent months are less likely to stop using the service and more likely to tweet more often than users from the past.
The full report can be found here it provides some interesting reading and cool analysis
