A new Harvard Business Review study reveals that the 10% of Twitter users account for over 90% of Twitter messages sent. That’s a more lopsided ratio than even Wikipedia, where 15% of editors account for 90% of all edits or social networks where the top 10% of most active users create 30% of all activity.
What’s it mean? Bill Heil and Mikolaj Piskorski, who wrote up the study for HBR, conclude:
This implies that Twitter’s resembles more of a one-way, one-to-many publishing service more than a two-way, peer-to-peer communication network.
