The Pew Internet and American Life project conducted a recent survey addressing U.S. citizen use of Twitter. Here are some of the facts I find most interesting.
- About a quarter of those surveyed say they use Twitter. This means Twitter is less popular than YouTube (most popular), Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. I was surprised that Twitter was this low in the rankings.
- Political party makes a significant difference in the use of Twitter – Dems 32%, Republicans 17%
- Political party makes a significant difference in the opinion that Twitter is good for the country – Dems 47%, Republicans 17%
- Party reaction may be associated with the beliefs that 25% believe blocking certain users and tweets 31% are significant problems.
- Infrequent users mostly reply rather than author original tweets.
