The 80/20 rule comes to Twitter

According to recent research at least 80% of all tweets (maybe even as high as 90%) are posted by only 20% of those who are registered.

A large proportion of users sign up and post once or not at all before giving up.

The only way people will get the benefit of site like twitter is if they engage with it. That means searching for people who post about things you want to read, posting things other people want to read and passing on things that other people have tweeted.

This way you will follow and be followed not just by the people you know and already engage with on a regular basis, but also new people who you may have never met or thought about speaking to in the past.

Let's see if more people get involved themselves, rather than just reading about a certain Mr Fry in a lift.
