Twitt-o-Scope

Found this cool visualization tool online called Twittoscope from this guy, Quasimondo.

As the site explains:
This little widget analyzes the lengths of a Twitter user's tweets and maps them in the form of a histogram. [...] The interesting result is that there are indeed different patterns of user types to be found. Many have a peak of lengths around the right side which is the 140 character limit of Twitter. Others have a peak rather on the left side which marks short tweets with just a few words. Robots or automated news services often have a very small distribution of different lengths. People who have just a few tweets will show a rather erratic pattern with many holes whilst oldtimers or people who tweet a lot will have a more continouus look.

As an additional info I've added the follower/following ratio as a horizontal bar below the histogram. The bigger the left yellow bar is the more followers a user has compared to the users he or she is following.
I thought it was pretty cool - here's our results:


Interesting, eh?
