    These are some of the astonishing facts and figures about twitter.

    Interesting numbers

    But this is true for most websites. People start an account just to access some functions and then never log in again. Serious websites clean inactive accounts every once in a while.

    Nobody follow me and i dont follow anyone.. Loool..

  5. By Web Design on Jun 22, 2009

    It’s Really True. Thanks For sharing

    @Kolorowanki, yeah, people just sign up to check out the system only not intending to use it.

    @Brokenjava, you are in the stats :)

    @ Kolorowanki — You are right about this. Most user do this . They sign up once in a month or six month.

  9. By Patios gold coast on Jun 23, 2009

    Good stats and too think I’m not even on Twitter!

  12. By arn on Jun 24, 2009

    yeah its a waste not to put url…the stats are great, at least now I have a picture on whats happening in the twitter world.

  13. By Marisha Adams on Jun 24, 2009

    I have to admit, that I was one of those people. I had a twitter account but actually had no idea what to do with it, so I just deleted it. I think a lot of people would have heard all about twitter in the hype but wouldn’t have known much about how to use it.

    It seems that twitters marketing potential is lying largely dormant, but the cool thing is that it will be easy to identify active from non-active accounts….

  15. By eyeman on Jun 25, 2009

    i agree with that. Some of them not active. Thats why i hate that..

    There is obviously loads of parking of keyword rich twitter usernames going on! Jump in now while the going is still good!

  17. By iPhone on Jun 26, 2009

    A lot of them are ghost accounts. You can buy 100 followers for $5. All you get are 100 fake accounts, created only to follow people who pay for them!

  18. By Property Solicitors on Jun 26, 2009

    Looking forward for more such stuff. Loved your style of providing the information and the nature of the content.

  19. By iPhone on Jun 27, 2009

    Hey, follow me at freeiphone4me - I actually use twitter!

  20. By Online TV on Jun 27, 2009

    Interesting stats. I wonder why did those 55.50% that are not following anyone, join twitter?

  21. By akazuma on Jun 30, 2009

    around 50% have no followers? Thats big number.

  22. By Minnesota Attorney on Jul 1, 2009

    I wonder how many Twitter accounts are merely spam accounts (not created to be used by humans).

  23. By Home Health Care Florida on Jul 2, 2009

    Very surprising statics of Twitter, means lot of people only creates a/c but doing noting and some of don’t know usage of Twitter.

  24. By PSP Downgrades on Jul 3, 2009

    Thats very interesting for such a popular site. You’d think they’d save some server space and do some clearing out!!! I guess they want the user-base though!

  25. By David Jones on Jul 5, 2009

    2010 and the twitter fad will be through I think. I don’t see the point of it myself. However, im on it for now!

  26. By Justin Timberlake on Jul 6, 2009

    My Twitter followers around 2000 … :-)

  27. By Justin Timberlake on Jul 6, 2009

    There is another very interesting figure that I saw in one of the sites:
    - 30% of users of Twitter, use its services no more than 3 months.

  28. By Filipina Heart Blog on Jul 7, 2009

    Half of the twitter network is inactive. Yea I think maybe a lot of them are spam accounts.

  29. By Ah Hong on Jul 7, 2009

    I am one of the 52.71% that do not have follower :(

  30. By Belajar Seo on Jul 12, 2009

    informative post, thanks for taking the time to sharing this with us

  31. By Filipina Heart Blog on Jul 12, 2009

    So it sounds like a lot of people sign up and then just forget about it.

  32. By Love Graphics on Aug 23, 2009

    “54.88% have never tweeted, 52.71% have no followers” I would have to fit into both these categories for now, but don’t worry ill get started soon.
