Twitter Stats – 2008 Demographics
Ignite Social Media has compiled their 2008 Social Network Analysis Report: Geographic, Demographic and Traffic Data Revealed – the sources are Google Insights and Google Adplanner.
You will find some very interesting insights in these reports which cover 42 different social networks. Presented for your convenience below are the data on twitter (because twitter is my latest obsession.) The graph shows 7 age groups. The age group using twitter most is the 35 – 44 group. The age group using twitter least is the 0 – 17 group, man are they losing out while they text away with their turbo thumbs. The group I’m in represents slightly less than 20% of twitter users, so I’m unusual for my age, but that has always been the case. Mentally I’m about age 32.
Most twitter users have a Bachelors or Graduate degree and have a household income between $50,000 and $99,999. Oh, and there are more males (58%) than females (42%) using twitter.
