Finally found out that Twitter has been publishing a few stats on usage.* Pretty interesting.
One that got me was the distribution of how many people per user if followed or following:
So, if you have about 10 followers and you’re following about 10 people then you’re Twittering away with a solid 50% of others like you using Twitter. If have more than 80 followers and you’re following more than 70 people then you are in the Twitter minority—about 10%.
Ok, I wished that had given some indication of active versus non-active. Right? I bet a ton of the non-active accounts are 10 and under follow(ed/ers).
Oh, just realized that this was indeed for active users. Cool.
*They’ve started this stats section with the Twitter stats on the Superbowl. Yup, I was definitely one of the twitterers that night. Alas, one of the sadder ones at the end.
