"Twitter power users are rare birds, according to a new report.\nTwopcharts, a site that monitors web activity, found that 44% of Twitter's 974 million registered users have never tweeted, according to The Wall Street Journal. Some 30% of existing Twitter accounts have sent 10 or fewer tweets, and just 13% of registered accounts have tweeted more than 100 times. Twopcharts is unable to discern whether users have logged onto their accounts. Its report is based on users' activity. \nSee also: How Brands Are Using Twitter's Redesigned Profile Pages\nThe report, which was released Friday, comes after Twitter disclosed in February that it had 244 million active monthly users in the last three months of 2013, meaning about 730 million people have created accounts on the site, but are not active on a monthly basis.\nTwopcharts has previously reported that of the 284.4 million new accounts in 2013, only 12.9% were still tweeting in February 2014. \nRealizing that some new users find its experience hard to navigate, Twitter has introduced enhancements lately including restyled, Facebook-like user profile pages and pop-up notifications on its website. \nFor Twitter, increasing engagement helps fight churn, since active users are less likely to abandon the service. Tweeting, favoriting and resharing also help Twitter to target ads for users since by taking such actions, the users indicate their preferences and interests.\nThe report comes as Twitter's stock price is flirting with its all-time low. At this writing, the stock was hovering around $40 in early trading. The stock has traded for as low as $38.80.\n\n\n10 Tweets That Rocked the Twitter-verse\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Hudson Plane Landing\nWhen a commercial flight was forced to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River, Twitter -- with the help of image service Twitpic -- told the story.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenneth Cole's #Cairo Blunder\nDuring a rash of riots in the Middle East and North Africa, Twitter played a role in protesters' fight for democracy.
