Twitter, huh

I think the biggest thing that stood out this week was how not only is Facebook and Twitter use plateauing, but how only 23% of adults say they are on Twitter! It was a good reminder that you can't just generalize based on experience because i would not have guessed that few people were using Twitter. It also got me wondering why so much interest seems to be focused on the service when it doesn't have as much of a user base as ANY of the other services surveyed. Possibly because of how open it is? It's a lot easier to scrape data from Twitter than any other social network where users can close down their data. I like what Krishnan brought up about the actual content of the news tweets, as many of them could possibly just be tweeting the same story over and over during the day to drum up interest (and Twitter users are encouraged to do this).
