Just 1 person in 300 uses Twitter for fun!

Twitter users seem to be a pretty serious bunch; according to the “Consumer Internet Barometer” reports eMarketer.

Just 0.3% of Twitter users claim that they use Twitter for fun, with the majority of users saying they Tweet in order to keep in touch with friends (41.6%).

twitter-3I can only assume these same people either don’t have fun with their friends or that they enjoy screwing around when researchers as them questions.

If you want to see the rest of the figures, including who uses Twitter most and what they use it for, take a look at this article on the superb eMarketer website.
