I'd be interested to know the reason and rationale of this experiment.

The method implies that there is a grouping - won't that bias the results? Also, since grouping tweets is not something people do, won't the obvious thing be to group tweets with links, images, retweets? And, if that is what you get in the results, what does that say about tweets?
