A couple weeks ago it came out that only 1 in 5 U.S. adults were active on Twitter. Well below the 60% that was suspected.

Now, Pew Research has determined that 80% of ALL TWEETS are made by just 10 percent of the accounts.

Someone in their right mind actually thought 60% of Americans were active on Twitter? That is insanity.

Trump is Twitter.

His tweets are amplified across all media.

The rest is just a tiny percentage of the population barking at each other.

Would be surprised if 20% of this very board even has tTweeter.

I do not have one.

Despite how eponymous Facebook is, its market penetration sits at 43% and declining. 60% is, in fact, insanity for twitter.

No fricking way. At that point, just fricking write it in a word doc and screen cap it or post a fricking link to it.

That just screams hey, pay attention to me!

I cant believe someone spent time and money on a study to tell them this. Anyone with a brain already knows that the internet and the media are driven by the most vocal 1%.

Per day? One more 1/5 and you at least qualify as a complete Sot.
