rfmcdonaldThe Global Sociology Blog linked to this graphic by David Andrew Johnson contrasting and comparing the demographics of Facebook and Twitter users.
"Quite a bit of similarities in demographics. Of course, Twitter users update their status more often because that is the point of the whole thing, hence more mobile users as it is easier to do update Twitter on mobiles than to update." Twitter users might not update as much, but the ones who do update fairly frequently--this makes sense, since Facebook might be a less dynamic, less rapidly changing platform than Twitter, more of a stationary place where existing relationships are maintained than Twitter's high-speed hashtagged zaniness.
