A Twitter user who has written 1 to 1000 tweets has an average of 51 to 100 followers, whereas users who have tweeted more than 10,000 times tend to be followed by 1,001 to 5000 individuals. It's estimated that a person with more than 15,000 tweets has between 100,001 to 1 million followers. Beevolve's report, called "An Exhaustive Study of Twitter Users Around the World," takes a look at users' demographics, follower stats, gender preferences, favorite keywords and smartphone/app preferences.

Need a Social Media Strategy? Start Thinking Community… In the race to social media influence, brands, professionals, and organisations have been tripping over themselves to ‘get social’.

Back in the day, before social media was the social media we see today, virtual communities facilitated the two-way interaction. The communities were run by the community members and grew from their participation. To me, social media or branded social spaces are the next evolution of the virtual community.
