Here are some interesting Twitter Statistics I found online today:
■ 21% of Twitter users are actually using the service-meaning that have at least 10 followers, follow at least 10 people, and have tweeted at least 10 times.
■ 74% of Twitter users have less than 10 followers! However, that number is improving with a 30% increase in the number of users with 10+ followers (since June 2009)
■ 60% of Twitter users follow less than 10 people
■ 34% of Twitter users have more followers than others they are following, showing an 70% increase from 20% in June 2009
■ 73% of users have less than 10 tweets, as compared to 79% in June 2009.
■ 49% of Twitter users joined between November 2008 and April 2009-the period when many celebrities jumped on the Twitter bandwagon
■ Twitter’s growth spiked at 21% in April 2009\
A little hard to believe that so many accounts are not active. I see how so few people follow others. If you want followers than you need to follow others.
Thanks for the update. It’s right 73% of users have less than 10 tweets, as compared to 79% in June 2009.
Actually, on twitter crowed are so high.
But many of them are joined just to see advantages only.
I haven’t opened account on twitter yet.
not only 79% there is 99% not active
the main issue twitter has…it is just plain boring. Most of the people actively using it are using it as a marketing tool. Like http://twitter.com/five_guys, they use it to get news out, specials, etc. When you think of the huge numbers of people online…having 5000 follows is really nothing. Facebook at least keeps people on their site with the games, etc. I tweet my business for the day…then I am off of there.
I am also very surprised twitter has not managed to get an ad routine going yet. I know they charge for the mobile SMS usage and sells this to companies…but that can not be a substantial amount to keep their investors happy. I know they sell data collected also. we shall see in 10 years if they are still around…remember how huge AOL & myspace used to be?
It means that twitter is useless, but i’ve seen increase of members in twitter every time.
but why are they mostly inactive ?
