A recent article on eMarketer reported on a survey by Sysmos looking at what the Twitter population looks like and what they are actually doing.
The results are perhaps a bit more skewed than I would have thought in terms of the youth of the audience as well as usual lopsided ration of content creators/producers.
As a 54 year old who averages 7 tweets per day, I find myself positioned as more of an outlier than I might have initially guessed. Although I confess that this would likely not come as a surprise to my wife.
How are you using Twitter? How often? What are you accomplishing? Here's an excerpt from the report (click on the link below to check out the original eMarketer post)...
Twitter has experienced explosive growth in 2009. According to “An In-Depth Look Inside the Twitter World,” from Sysomos, 72.5% of all Twitter users joined the service in the first five months of this year. Who are they?
More than one-half of all Twitter users (53%) are women, and the majority are young. Among users who disclose their age, 66% are under 25, and another 15% are ages 25 to 29.
Most Twitter users are quiet: 85.37% tweet less than once per day. Only about 1.1% of users update their timeline an average of more than 10 times daily. This means a small group of users dominate the Twitter timeline—75% of all Twitter activity comes from just 5% of users.
