It wasn’t that long ago that if you mentioned Twitter to someone, there was a pretty good chance their reaction would be a blank stare or perhaps “What’s a Twitter?”.
But according to a new study, 87% of people in the U.S. are now aware of Twitter, compared with 26% in 2009 and 5% in 2009. Still, only 7%, or 17 million, people in the U.S. use Twitter, compared with 41% have a profile page on Facebook.
The study also discovered that about two-thirds of active Twitter users access social networking sites using a mobile phone, and that 51% of active Twitter users follow companies, brands or products on social networks.
