A recent study provides some interesting insight of the State of the Twittersphere based on about 500,000 accounts tracked by Twitter Grader.

  • Twitter has lots of newer and less active users
    • 70% of Twitter users joined in 2008
    • An estimated 5-10 thousand new accounts are opened per day
    • 35% of Twitter users have 10 or fewer followers
    • 9% of Twitter users follow no one at all
  • There is a strong correlation between the number of followers you have and the number of people you follow.
