Comment on Report: 44% of Twitter Accounts Have Never Sent a Tweet

Comments

I use Twitter to get news and updates from a few sources. And in this case, the headline is like saying the majority of newspaper readers have never written a newspaper article.

That's a great analogy and highlights what might be a core issue for Twitter: what it wants to be (an social network with lots of two-sided interaction) vs. what its users perceive it to be (a newswire).

Well, a minority in this case. Also I don't think anyone seriously believes 400 million actual people are using twitter in that way.
