What If?

I took a hiatus from the world of social Networking the past two weeks and it allowed me to clear my head. No Facebook status updates, no tweets, no FriendFeed. It was good to take a break from updating the world on what I was up to and my observations and just disconnect for awhile. Though I can’t say I was able to disconnect from my laptop, it was one less distraction from my day.

Which raises an interesting question. What would happen if everyone stopped tweeting at the exact same moment on Twitter for an entire day? Would there be a huge dip in all the analytical tools that analyze what the trending topics are on Twitter? And how much of the Twitter traffic is just automated responses being fired up on a scheduled basis?
