Twitter turned five this month and has revealed some interesting data. It has been revealed that one billion tweets are sent in a week and about 140 million tweets are sent in a day.
However, the interesting thing to note is that it is a fairly small group of 'elite' Twitter users who are generating half of the tweets on the service. Yes, 50% of all tweets read and shared are generated by 20,000 'elite' users that include celebrities, bloggers and organizations.
Although there are 200 million registered accounts on the service but these few 'elite' users are running the main show it seems. Celebrities have the highest number of followers of course.
However, unlike Facebook, individuals do not follow back their followers so it a less social platform in comparison to Facebook where the number of 'likes' is phenomenally higher and people interact a lot more.
