Out of every 140 chars – only about 80 of them have some meaning – The rest 60, web-junk….That’s what the stats say.

Now, the legion of web marketers are thinking, as to how these 80 chars can  be tapped for some intelligence – if it is at all there. Web semantics holds a bright light for the tweets out there.  We all know that Twitter is one of the first places to look for any developing story – be it the Iranian elections, the Hudson river United airlines landing, or a simple remark from Matt about Google Caffeine…Twitter is the the most democratic billboard of the web.

The sweet stuff will be – if the tweets can be bundled into blocks of information and this blocks of trends / info are visible graphically. So, for example, you are looking for the latest on MJ burial, then in one corner – Let’s say ‘Tweet Corner’ – One balloon / 3D cube exists for the tag  ‘MJ burial’. The size of the info-block will obviously be in the ratio of the number of tweets & the number of meaningful  characters in the tweets…

So long from CopperBridge corridors..
