Pew released a new report on Twitter users today. It has some interesting data on who updates their status frequently (or infrequently) and where the user traffic resides for this online activity.
Here are a few points I noted:
Connectedness is a slippery slope: the more devices (laptop, Kindle, iPod, mobile phone) a user owns, the more likely they are to use Twitter or another similar service to update their status.
Twitter has a long tail: the top 10% of all Twitter users accounted for over 90% of all tweets.
Adoption increases the likelihood of more adoption: Internet users who already use sites like MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn are more likely to also use Twitter: (35% of Internet users). Users who do not use any other social networking sites are much less likely to use Twitter (6% of Internet users).
