Twitter: Now With 75 Million People Who Almost Never Use It
January 28, 2010
Twitter's raking in new tweeps at a rapid clip, the vast majority of those people never use it.
Turns out only about 17% of people ever send a single tweet in a given month. And 40% have never ever sent a Tweet. Twenty-five percent have no followers.
What's more, the rate of new users is slowing down.
To be fair, 17% of 75 million people is still a lot of people at least sending one tweet. But it also helps to deflate some of the hype so we get a realistic view of just how engaging Twitter really is.

"... Truly A Must-Read ..."
Today, the 24/7 always-on consumer sees everything as an advert. In this new world of ‘consumer time,’ marketers need to bond with consumers in ways that go beyond a mere iPhone or gaming application – just another passing fancy that won’t stay relevant. Rick Mathieson’s THE ON-DEMAND BRAND is truly a must-read for marketers who need to cut through the clutter to gain a deeper understanding of their consumers, spot trends and predict outcomes.”
