From the abstract, it seems to be exclusively about Twitter. We have been very wary to make any generalization from Twitter to the enterprise. Basically, while some effects might be similar, I'd also expect significant differences (and hence product features and processes). But as you say, that comparison in itself would be interesting!

I wonder how your follow-up survey correlates with our work on microblogging continuance (http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/20d4d78c1ce777ce461fe6204bd835c66/boehr) or http://www.ecis2009.it/papers/ecis2009-0164.pdf) Great work!

It only means that we may not have touched upon the full breadth of ideas and opinions and considerations we might have got from a more balanced set of people. How this came about I don't know for sure. Most likely, it was a result of our outreach channels as well as location in the Silicon Valley. We used mostly high-tech channels like mailiing lists frequented by Silicon Valley professionals. Our follow-up work uses a survey, will be more widely spread, and is intended to be more broadly representative of the world of business software users in general (with or without Twitter experience).

Twitter doesn't strike me as being particularly male dominated. Why do you think the ratio was so skewed, and what effect do you think it had on the research?
