Analysis and Demographics Of South African Twitter Usage
Glad to see that there are some interesting pie and bar charts for South Africa Twitter users
. Also good to see what us South Africans are tweeting about. The report was put together by fuseware.net (Strategic Social Media Integration) and look quite complete; a couple of interesting things about it …
South Africans are not that Big on Twitter
With only 55000 users tweeting 1.5 million times a month (the USA is easily more than 200% more) and with Cape Town and Johannesburg having the biggest Twitter user count, it seems that South Africa is slow on the twitter uptake.
Some Things are the Same
Yes we seem to tweet mostly during working hours, no matter where you are in the world. Cos that’s where you are strapped to your desk and like me then you’ld not want to tweet while out and about. Besides, it not as practical here to tweet on your mobile as it is in the USA. However there is a peek between 6pm and 8pm – seem that South Africans are good enough to limit there tweeting while they drive home ![]()
Most Twitter users are Designers
Really, is that because it fits their way of thinking?
Second are Students; tweeting in class are we? lol
South Africans are more Happy than Sad
Well that is promising ![]()
I wonder if using twitter can be of help to sad people?
