A report has just been released by the Pew Research Centre in the US, detailing 
research into the profile of US users of the increasingly popular microblogging 
service Twitter.

 

Interestingly, according to the report, Twitter users are not as young as you might
have expected – with a median age of 31. Compared to 27 for MySpace users; 26 for
Facebook users; and a positively ancient 40 for LinkedIn users.
