Remember when I didn\u2019t want to be on Twitter? \u00a0 (Read Why I\u2019m Not on Twitter<\/a> as a refresher!) Later, I caved and put this blog on Twitter, so I could communicate better with you guys, and it\u2019s been interesting so far.\u00a0 The reason I didn\u2019t initially want to join was because Twitter seems to be so full of haters.\u00a0 Recently, a study showed that my gut feeling was true<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The survey tank\u2019s latest findings sum up a year\u2019s worth of comparisons between the reactions of the general public to breaking-news events and the tenor of the reactions on Twitter. The main takeaway isn\u2019t surprising, but it\u2019s worth noting nonetheless: As much as the media leans on Twitter as an instant public-opinion barometer, the microblogging site\u2019s users really aren\u2019t representative of the nation at large.<\/p>\n

Twitter users skew young and left\u2014they leaned hard toward Barack Obama during the election and for gay rights in California. But the most consistent bias that Pew found was not toward liberals or conservatives. It was a bias against, well, almost everything. For instance, the Twitterati were heavily against Obama\u2019s nomination of John Kerry for Secretary of State, and they thought the president\u2019s 2012 State of the Union speech was a stinker. (In both cases, Pew found the public as a whole generally supportive.) And while they evinced more hate for Romney than Obama overall, negative comments toward both \u201cexceeded positive comments by a wide margin throughout the fall campaign season.\u201d In Pew\u2019s words:<\/p>\n

At times the Twitter conversation is more liberal than survey responses, while at other times it is more conservative. Often it is the overall negativity that stands out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, what do you think?\u00a0 Do you guys who are on Twitter love it or hate it?\u00a0 This blog is on there\u2026 for now, though we get lots of mean Tweets from people.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to follow me there, please go here<\/a>\u2026 and show me some Twitter love instead of hate!<\/p>\n
