The average number is 36 million per day. But the real question is, how many of them are active? It&#8217;s estimated that 80% of tweets are posted by the top 10% of users. You might be wondering, how many users are Gen-Z users? Or even what percentage of tweets are posted by Influencers. Well, we&#8217;re about to answer those questions in this article.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Average\"><\/span>Average<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to a new report from comScore, the average number of users on Twitter is 397 million. This number includes the young and the old alike. However, it is worth noting that millennials dominate Twitter. This generation is responsible for nearly all of the site&#8217;s growth. While Twitter&#8217;s user demographics vary by country, it generally reflects the working middle class. For instance, nearly 30% of US users are between the ages of 25-34. And as for its gender, the average user is a man.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Average_response_time\"><\/span>Average response time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to a study published in Customer Service Quarterly, the average Twitter response time is 31 hours. While Twitter is a great place to share short messages and breaking news, brands should be mindful that many users expect a fast response. The study also found that sports brands responded to social media comments just 7% of the time. To address this issue, brands can use a chatbot, like ManyChat, which can automate several tasks on the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gen-Z_users\"><\/span>Gen-Z users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the newest generation of workers, Gen-Z is embracing the power of the Internet, and Twitter is no exception. Originally started as a way for people to post a 140-character update, the platform has evolved to become a place for breaking news, bots, and former presidents to vent. As this group becomes more influential in the workforce, it is important to understand how this generation uses social media and how it might benefit the company.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Influencers\"><\/span>Influencers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how many users Twitter has, you&#8217;re not alone. In fact, recent research by the Pew Research Center shows that nearly seventy-three percent of US adults use Twitter. With over 217 million monthly active users, it&#8217;s clear that the numbers are increasing. However, it&#8217;s impossible to know the exact number of users worldwide. Nevertheless, it&#8217;s safe to say that Twitter&#8217;s growth is not slowing down.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Japan\"><\/span>Japan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When looking to expand your social media presence into Japan, Twitter might be a good place to start. Japanese users use the site at high rates, which is particularly important if you have a product or service geared toward older consumers. According to the most recent statistics, Twitter&#8217;s number of Japanese users has increased by 7 times since 2011. Now, over one third of the country&#8217;s population uses Twitter on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"India\"><\/span>India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How many users does Twitter have in India? According to Insider Intelligence, India has nearly 34 million Twitter users compared to only one in four of the country&#8217;s internet users. Regardless of the actual number, India&#8217;s Internet penetration rate is relatively low. According to eMarketer, Twitter&#8217;s user base will increase by 30 percent in the coming year, and by 16 percent next year. With this growth, Twitter is well positioned to expand its reach in India and continue to serve the local market.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_tweets_sent_a_day\"><\/span>Number of tweets sent a day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The average user sends about eight hundred and sixty tweets a day, and Twitter has recently topped this figure with the release of new stats. The website reports that a record number of tweets was sent every second, equating to approximately three million tweets per minute. In fact, according to recent studies, tweets were sent at a rate of nearly 40,000 per second in January. During the royal baby craze in the UK, the average user posted almost 25 tweets per minute. The number of tweets is estimated to reach over 361 billion tweets a year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_followers\"><\/span>Number of followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One study found that former U.S. president Barack Obama had the highest number of Twitter followers, at 131 million. Justin Bieber was the next highest, with more than 100 million followers. Twitter was founded in 2006, and allows users to post short, text-based messages, known as tweets, that can be up to 280 characters long. At the end of September 2016, Twitter had 192 million monetizable daily active users.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"507\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q_1Rw3e-iwE\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Users Does Twitter Have?
