Black Friday Tweets Show Buying Trends

In a recent publication from Mashwork, a social media research and data analysis company, data was compiled and categorized from over 270,000 tweets from Sept. 26th 2011 - Nov. 17th 2011 to show shopping trends for 2011's Black Friday. In the infographic released, we can easily see what the clear winners are going to be, who will be buying them, and from where.
Some of the highlights of this data show that most people tweeting about Black Friday are 53% men over 47% women, most living in California, New York and Texas. The most popular stores tweeted about were Walmart at 21%, Best Buy at 20% followed by Target at 13%.
Here is probably the funniest stat (or selfish) of the data from Twitter. 46% of 100,333 tweets analysed showed that they would be shopping for themselves, 36% said for others, and 18% said for both. Has the so called 'Spirit of giving' turned into the Spirit of Personal Shopping?
