What are consumers planning to buy on Black Friday? Computers and tablets, according to data compiled by Mashwork, which gathered data from thousands of Twitter users. 18% of consumers discussed buying computers and tablets, 17% want to buy DVDs, music and video games, 16% are most interested in shoes, 14% will buy clothes, 12% want to buy a new television and 9% are planning to purchase a new cell phone or camera. The remaining 14% are planning to purchase items outside of those categories. The most talked about item among all of those categories is a pair of black Air Jordan Cement 3s, followed by the PlayStation 3, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console and Kinect accessory, Call of Duty: MW3 and the iPhone 4S.

Mashwork’s infographic also suggested that the iPad will be much more popular than the <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/22/amazon-kindle-fire-review-its-no-ipad-killer-and-that-is-why-it-will-succeed/">Amazon Kindle Fire</a> on Black Friday, at least until people begin talking more about Amazon’s new tablet on Twitter. “For every 10 times the iPad 2 is talked about in relation to Black Friday, the Kindle Fire is mentioned just once,” <a href="http://mashwork.com/blog/?p=1285">Mashwork said</a>.

In another sample taken from 100,333 tweets, 46% of shoppers said they are planning to buy goods for themselves on Black Friday. 36% are planning to buy for others and 18% are planning to purchase items for both themselves and others.

Walmart will be the busiest store, a survey of 2,158 tweets found. 21% of Black Friday shoppers plan to visit the national retail outlet, followed by Best Buy (20%), Target (13%), Macy’s (11%), Amazon.com (10%), Kmart (9%), Kohls (9%) and Nordstrom (7%). Gender does not appear to have a major role, either. In a sample size of 1,676 tweets, 53% of those planning to purchase goods on Black Friday are men while 47% are women.
