Pew Report on Twitter and Status Updating
Today the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a report on "Twitter and status updating." Below are a few highlights:
- As of December 2008, 11% of online American adults said they used a status updating service like Twitter;
- 19% of online adults ages 18 and 24, and 20% of online adults 25 to 34, have used services like Twitter (use drops steadily after age 35);
- Twitter use is highly intertwined with the use of other social media and wireless technologies, although users consume news and own technology at the same rates as other internet users.
