seen Twitter Grader reveals some interesting stats they found dealing with "activity" levels of many Twitter accounts. Such stats include:

- 79.79% failed to provide a homepage URL

- 75.86% of users have not entered a bio in their profile

- 68.68% have not specified a location

-  55.50% are not following anyone

- 54.88% have never tweeted

-  52.71% have no followers

These are pretty much the exact things people say are Twitter's follower limit, which is 2,000 until you have that many followers yourself. Twitter has this policy in place to combat spam.

More Fun Facts

- London, LA, and Chicago are the top 3 Twitter locations respectively

- 1.44% of all tweets are retweets

- 37.95% of all tweets contain an @ symbol

- 33.44% of all tweeets start with an @ sybmol

No stats for hashtags are provided, but I would wager that that number is on the rise. I know I have been seeing them used a lot more commonly recently.

How percentage of you tweets (give or take) would you say are retweets? Replies/mentions?
