A new research study conducted by Harvard Business School reveal some shocking news for all the Twitter lovers. The summary conclusions of the shocking research for Twitter is below:
1) Although men and women follow a similar number of Twitter users, men have 15% more followers than women
2) Men comprise 45% of Twitter users, while women represent 55%
3) Men also have more reciprocated relationships, in which two users follow each other
4) An average man is almost twice more likely to follow another man than a woman.
5) An average man is 40% more likely to be followed by another man than by a woman
6) An average woman is 25% more likely to follow a man than a woman
7) On a typical online social network, most of the activity is focused around women – men follow content produced by women they do and do not know, and women follow content produced by women they know
8 ) Among Twitter users, the median number of lifetime tweets per user is one. This translates into over half of Twitter users tweeting less than once every 74 days
9) The top 10% of prolific Twitter users accounted for over 90% of tweets. On a typical online social network, the top 10% of users account for 30% of all production. This implies that Twitter’s resembles more of a one-way, one-to-many publishing service more than a two-way, peer-to-peer communication network
