  • Researchers at the Pew Internet and American Life Project polled Internet users and found that 11 percent are using Twitter and similar short-form online message services or status updates.
  • Profiling the Twitter set, Pew found that they are prone to mobile computing, frequently dashing off status updates from their smartphones or laptops using a wireless connection.
  • Roughly 20 percent of online adults between the ages of 18 and 34 said they use status-update services, compared with four percent of adults between the ages of 55 and 64, and just four percent of those 65 and older.

  • Twitter users have a median age of 31, compared with 26 years of age for Facebook, 27 for MySpace and 40 for LinkedIn.
  • The report also hinted at an emerging legitimacy that Twitter has been earning in the realm of citizen journalism. When terrorists overran Mumbai, India last November, witnesses to the scene blasted out tweets describing burning hotels or assuring loved ones they were okay long before media outlets arrived to cover the story.
