Can someone explain this:
"But in English, a much higher percentage of Tweets have 140 characters (9%). Most Japanese Tweets are 15 characters while most English Tweets are 34"
Why is 34 characters considered most tweets when the chart shows 140 characters higher than "34"? As labeled, the hump is lower than spike at 140 characters.
What am I missing?
Edit: Is the author saying the mode is 34?
- subroutine 9y agoThey might be binning the data to form those conclusions (because you are right, the graph does not support those statements). If they bin at each character +/- 5 characters it looks like 34 (+/-5) would be max.
- rovek 9y agoThis confused me as well. The chart leaves much to be desired if the quote is accurate.
