When someone tweets badly, they will start to get many more replies than retweets or favs. The ratio will tend to resemble the batting statistics from baseball stars of yesteryear. For example, the Adam Dunn classic: a .198 batting average with 34 home runs and 83 RBI. That&#8217;s a bad tweet.<\/p>\n<p>But today we&#8217;re talking about good tweets.
