POPSHOW RELEVANT IS TWITTER? Beyond relevance is significance. Twitter produces data which is almost impossible to interpret from the content after the fact, simply because there is too much of it, and its "granuality" is too small. It is, however, possible (indeed unavoidable) to infer significance from this data: e.g. waxing and waning group concerns (which can then in turn be analysed using # words, or by types of sources, etc.) It is the stats themselves which are the object of inquiry, as such, they are "self signifying". Types of content can be treated as indicators which can be counted, the results of which are simply another (meta?) level of information which consciousness can use in its sense making quest.

POPSGlobal Warming Skepticism Panic Attack at HuffPo Eeek! The number of global warming thought crimes more than doubled in just a year. Grandia continues to give us more "grim" Google statistics about this growing heresy: "Global Warming" skeptic A Google blog search for the term "global warming" skeptic between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 reports 73,956 page results. The same search for the previous year reports only 38,346 page results. The 2007 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is not nearly as impressive as the name sounds. They have thrown out all conflicting data with their theory, and most have a political agenda of a one world government run by the United Nations. And remember, Kevin, the above replies to your blog were made on that dreaded Internet where you ironically posted your complaints about using the Web as a source for climate information.
