"The latest study by Nielsen Mobile reveals some not-really-that-surprising data about Twitter mobile demographics. As it turns out, Twitter users are predominantly young and male, with a 57/43 percent male/female ratio and 49 percent of users in the 35+ age group.\nNielsen compares this data to the demographics of Predicto, which is the largest paid mobile community (Twitter is the largest free mobile community), and it turns out that it's quite different. Predicto has a very different male/female user ratio - 45/55, and 68 percent of users are in the 35+ age group.\nWhat does it mean to be the largest free mobile community? It means 812,000 unique SMS users; a relatively large portion of Twitter's monthly 14 million visitors.\nAs far as earnings go, 16 percent of Twitter users earn $100K+, compared to 20 percent for Predicto. These stats will sure come in handy once - if - Twitter starts monetizing the service. \nMore Resources from Mashable:\n\n- HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter\n- The Science of Retweets\n- The 7 Ways to Approach Twitter\n- FOLLOW Fail: The Top 10 Reasons I will Not Follow You in Return on Twitter\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
