Very interesting study – thanks for summarizing it, and including a link to the paper!

It would be interesting to analyze the propagation of political rumors in the USA, or how much influence Twitter has on such rumors. For example, I wonder how many of the 18% of people who believe Barack Obama is a Muslim (as reported by Pew Research) use Twitter … vs., say, are regular viewers of Fox News. I believe a multi-channel analysis of the relative speed and extent of propagation and refutation of false rumors – that includes Twitter, Facebook, email and main stream media – would be a very interesting area of future research.
