If Twitter were 100 people

Nice graphic which visualises a study from Pear Analytics based on 2,000 Tweets. The data can be seen as just as subjective as the theory that Teens don't Tweet, but it paints an interesting picture.

Where would you be in this picture?

- I started off on Twitter and didn't really get the hang of it, but after a bit of perseverance and egging on from my housemate, I've started using it a lot more.
  
  I use it more for learning stuff about what's going on in the world around me, rather than telling everyone that I've just been for a poo and eaten a cheese sandwich, which probably makes me fall under the 'not tweeted in the last week' stat.

- I guess that makes me one of the 20 "dead" folk! I signed up to Twitter a few months back, but didn't have enough to tweet about. Oh dear! Am looking forward to the streamlined version of Facebook, though.
