I live in a somewhat bifurcated world - lots of 18 - 25 year olds, and also lots of 30 - 65 year olds. I would say that fewer than 20% of the older group even has a twitter account, and most of those who do hardly ever use it. But even among the younger group, maybe 50% have a twitter account, and I doubt if even half of those use it very often. I don't know exactly what segments of the population Twitter has reached his status that "everyone HAS to have an account", but I suspect it is a relatively thin slice. -- TV or Not TV ....
