Thinks

Study shows Twitter as a one-to-many broadcast medium rather than peer-to-peer social network.

Interesting stats from the Harvard study of 300,000 users:

• 10% of Twitter users generate more than 90% of the content, in contrast to typical online social networks where 10% of users generate 30% of the content;
• The median number of lifetime tweets per user is one as half the users updated less than once every 74 days;
• 55% Women, 45% men split;
• Men have 15% more followers;
• Unlike social networks, in Twitter men like to follow men.
