A Completely Unscientific Pie Chart Of Who Uses Twitter And Why

The people over at Brainz.org made pie charts describing the users of all the major social networking sites, and one I've never heard of called "Propeller." I am partial to the Twitter diagram that explains the circuitous (and slightly ridiculous) usership (is that a thing?) of the latest in a long series of sites designed to help people share what's left of their private lives with the world.

Enjoy!

We will soon have a University course in twitterology. Sine up for twitter 101 as a pretext.

What is Twitter? Wait, on second thought, I really don't need to know.

[whiteboyblues]

Should I "ask my doctor" if Twitter is right for me?

[hark]

How can anyone even complete a simple thought these days, connected up the way they are? It's almost as if they want to be constantly interrupted by others so they are in perpetual react mode.

I don't get it. Doesn't anyone value privacy or solitude?

Twitter:

not merely an activity

the ultimate meta-existence

existing in the chronicles of others' existence

the ultimate vicarious existence

somebody needs to get out of the house

WTF is Twitter? Has the Kid from Brooklyn done a bit on it yet?

[whyanything]

Don't use it and don't care. I predict it will be gone in 6 months.

[ProudToBeVeryLiberal]

[SpaghettyIrish]

The Thought Police would have loved twitter. That much easier to figure out what your Room 101 should be.

[tomjones44]

I too was thinking along those lines

Twitter is a mind control experiment...and it proves that people love to act like sheep. Follow me follow you...twitter is meaningless ego driven horror.

Cmon people wake up...in an age when its hard to get people to call on the phone do you think that people really care about your every move all day long...heck no

Twitter is a mass delusion.

twitter will probably fade as a fad because the corporate news took it and just wrung all the life out of it....just like they do with everything else....when they try to be "ahead of the curve" they just end up killing new enterprises.

[Amennyc]

[Agent420]

Don't you mean, "People nearby need to know."

[William Donahoe]

What about all the "social media evangelists" that can help your business? That's gotta make up a sizable percentage.

[JudyMillerDubyaAgent]

Yep, you said! In fact, I'd say that more than 50% are internet marketers or people trying to sell something.
