Abstract
Microblogging is a new way of communication among people
which allows them to disseminate messages via web, mobile
phone, email or instant messaging. In 2010, microbloggers
generated 65 million messages a day on Twitter alone. Our
hypothesis is that tweeting is an activity which its users
perform in order to stills some needs. In this paper, we describe
an approach for analysing user purposes in writing single
tweets and organize these purposes to taxonomy. We find
that people use microblogging for eight different purpose,
e.g. promotion, social interaction and expressing emotions.
We aim to classify the tweet into categories of purposes.
