The panopticon of valley society, Twitter, has graced us with some stats about their user base. From Biz himself:
Recently, we’ve been digging around a bit and discovering some interesting statistics about Twitter usage. Some stats are fun–like the number of mentions per US presidential candidate, or the annotated spikes during the Super Bowl. Other stats are more
relative to usage. For example, people who have 10 followers and are following about 10 people represent 50% of all Twitter-ers. If
you have more than 80 followers and you’re following more than 70 people, then you are in the Twitter minority at about 10%.
What part do you fit in?
More juicy stats here.
Following / followers seems to be a good measure for telling the degree to which a twitterer is broadcasting opinions en masse vs. just communicating with friends.
