Who Is Twitter?

Beevolve, a social media marketing firm (that sounds redundant), analyzed 36 million Twitter profiles to break down the range of users. Sounds like a lot of shitty work done by interns...

The average Twitter user is a 28 year old American girl who has an iPhone, has 208 Twitter followers while following 102 people, tweets a lot about fashion and family, likes the color purple and uses "love" quite frequently in her tweets. If this describe someone you know, then you should rethink who you are friends with.  If you're a celebrity or involved in the media and arts, it makes perfect sense, but nobody needs to be chirping  about how much they like the a dress at the mall.  It's not as bad as Facebook, with all the "hey look at me, pay attention to me" posts about what people had for breakfast, but still awful.

They have plenty of statistics, like the average Twitter user has tweeted 800 times, and only 26% of users favorite Tweets? You can read them here...but don't tweet it.  Tweeting is for assholes.
