Contrary to what you may expect, self promotional updates -- especially in the form of links to the thing you worked on -- are among the highest valued on Twitter, beaten only by questions at #1 and information sharing at #2. [1]

The old-fashioned "what are you doing now" update is the 3rd most disliked status. "Eating a sandwich" is oversharing.

Twitter users self-reported[2] that they're more likely to buy from businesses that answer their questions.
