Twitter Statistics
Posted by Craig Bailey in Social networking on 03 29th, 2009 | one response
You’ll be shocked (NOT!) to learn that Twitter is growing at a massive rate. Stats last month put the growth at over 1300% for February (compared to a year earlier). You can read all the latest numbers over on the Nielsen site (which I came across via the TwistImage blog). For me the two most interesting details were these:
- 42% of the Twitter audience is in the 35-49 age bracket
- Over 10% of visitors were via mobile
Having such a large mobile audience is not surprising, but will have the interesting effect of pushing mobile social networking engagement into the mainstream.
BTW, you can follow me on Twitter here.
[Facebook by comparison had a 220% growth over the same period (but obviously is a much bigger audience).]

I love Twitter and have been using it for over a year now. Although I’d call myself mature, I’m definitely not in the 35+ age bracket.
