If you put your ear to the railroad (make sure there’s no train coming!), you can hear what’s going on. That’s exactly what Laura Chappell did to “hear” the traffic that crosses your network as soon as you use Twitter. She captured all traffic (in so called WireShark Trace Files) and she wrote two amazing reports about it (one about Twitter in general and one about TweetDeck). The available trace files will help you to follow her steps of research. Try it yourself! Interesting!
