TWITTER . . . THERE'S A KIND OF HUSH

 
elledark:

Twitter. 75 million registered users it proudly says BUT a massive 80% of those accounts are inactive. Only 17% of ‘tweeters’ sent even a single tweet’ in the last month. Only 5% of Twitters users account for 75% of all its tweets. And what about that tiny 5% ? How many of those are spammers rather than ‘proper’ users I wonder ?  No-ones counted that but you can draw your own conclusions from how active you know spammers are.

Which makes me wonder about Stumbleupon and its ‘over 9 million registered users’. How many of those accounts are really active ? From the current feel around the place, not that many. Tumblr very wisely seems to keep quiet on the subject of user numbers.

Interesting article that maybe explains the disconnect I sometimes get between the vast numbers of ‘users’ these places claim and how busy they actually seem to me.
