The Laughing DM » Twitter http://www.thelaughingdm.com/wordpress Behind the screen you hear the clatter of dice. The Dungeon Master begins to laugh. What do you do?

Edit: Ars Technica has a review of a report by HubSpot on the subject of Twitter users.  The HubSpot report is probably a little more self-serving than the report cited by the BBC.  But it’s still interesting in the details that it provides.
