These kind of stats are always flawed as just the maths of this, it is obvious that a tiny amount of people will produce the most stuff purely because of percentages
We have to keep in mind this is statistical assimilation. What I find truly interesting is the breakdown of the 80/20 rule. I would have suspected a full 20 to 30 people would be required to reach 70 to 80 percent of the tweets. I wonder if there is a way to account for the jump off of the 80/20 rule. If twitter was 100 people big how many people would equate to 100 followers?
How can 5 have more than 100 followers if the grand total is 100?
What about the grey people?
I don’t see a solid rational behind this picture, it’s easily discussable.
The gray ones are the folks who don’t fit into the other categories. That is, their accounts aren’t empty/dead, so they aren’t pink. They have tweeted in the last week, so they aren’t lazy/green. They have fewer than one hundred followers, so they aren’t blue, and they aren’t the loud mouths/purple who create seventy-five percent of the tweets.
However, the graph doesn’t allow for overlap. Who’s to say that those with more than one hundred followers cannot double as those who create more than seventy-five percent of the tweets? It’s possible, (even expected, in fact,) for some folks to belong in both groups, but the chart doesn’t accomodate such details.
Let’s make this visualization about books – the most successful media ever – and you won’t find even 1 “loud mouth”, and even less 30 having published last week… So let’s not get too excited about this statistics. Twitter is not only writing but also reading…
Stats may vary, but truly appreciate the information representation!! Good thought…

I don’t understand why everyone is so negative. All he is saying is that 5 percent of people on twitter create 75 percent of the tweets (there probably is a correlation with the 5 percent that have more than a hundred followers). 20 percent generate absolutely no tweets. A whopping 50 percent haven’t tweeted in the last week… which leaves you with a mere 20 percent of what might be called average users, that is those that fit no other categories, who are in fact only 20 percent. But this twenty percent is most likely the backbone of twitter. Consider this. If 20 percent don’t fit the other categories, then most likely they represent the majority of followers for those with more than 100, and just as likely the readers of all those tweets produced by the lowly 5 percent. So its a strikingly strong suggestion of the 80/20 rule, or thereabouts. And it helps illustrate why even though it seems like EVERYONE is tweeting, the actual percentages deny this. I have never used twitter by the way. Facebook wastes enough of my time.

Ehh.. people with more then 100 followers?
Umm.. I don’t think there can be more than 100 followers if the maximum number of people is 100

Humans do not change, technology just adapts to us.
And the 20 grey ones are ??
Am I missing something?
R!
How can 5 have more than 100 followers if the grand total is 100?
What about the grey people?

20 people aren’t on Twitter (like myself), that makes it so 80% of the people are using Twitter, 20% are not = 80/20 rule

I’d love to see this updated seeing as Twitter are now claiming 50 million tweets a day now.
35 of the people would be tweeting about Justin Beiber :p
