Alexis Madrigal, writing at The Atlantic, has a short report on the results of some recent survey work done by Pew Research about Twitter users.
The headline says it all: "Twitter is Not America." Madrigal's piece details some of the characteristics shared by those who use the micro-blogging platform, and also drops some nuggets that distinguish the casual tweeter from the dedicated user. It's an interesting read, and Madrigal includes a link to the actual Pew study he's commenting on.
I have to confess to mixed feelings when I first read the headline, though. I was torn between a feeling of, "Well, duh" and "Thank God!" I decided to feel both.
