I linked to this in a blog post I wrote for Chico State's student-managed PR agency Tehama Group Communications. It was nice to see the breakdown although I do agree with Robb Lewis in that the title was a little misleading. Nevertheless, very interesting information.

It’s really good that you are paying attention how real people actually use something rather than listening to A-listers who blog from their i-Phones.

So many people are reading Twitter from the web because that’s where they can make it useful and coherent, especially to be able to easily paste in links or quotations or work in other applications throughout the day. Most people aren’t A-listers jetting around to social media conferences able to gab all day — they have to work and Twitter augments their reality, it isn’t an immersive virtual reality itself.

Thank you...<br/><br/>Robb, I don't disagree with you. It's why I added Apps in the headline. I've hosted a series of discussions on the alignment of personal vs. corporate branding on Twitter. I'll write about it soon! I'll call it "Multiple Personality IN Order!" Thanks Mark, good points! Thank you…

I actually think the title is somewhat misleading. It's really how people post to twitter, not necessarily how they use it. For example, twitterfeed is just another way to distribute awareness of my blog article. That's different that someone reading the article and then tweeting about it. <br/><br/>I would really love to see a sociological report on twitter usage (which is right up your alley :-) and also, people like me that have multiple twitter accounts, one personal and one for work, how they use them. And I don't mean technically but how do we determine when to tweet about work related stuff on our personal accounts and non-work stuff on our business accounts. <br/><br/>-Robb<br/>twitter: robblewis Thx for sharing Brian.

I'm not too surprised. My guess is that many people who use the web are new to Twitter. And even if and when they start using TweetDeck (or whatever), there will be more newbies to take their place. <br/><br/>Another reason why people use the web is because many government and corporate computers have controls that prevent downloading novel software for security reasons. And something like Twhirl just isn't worth bothering IT about. Thanks Brian and HubSpot. I’m not too surprised. My guess is that many people who use the web are new to Twitter.
