Written under: Internet, Pop Culture, TechnologyWhat is Twitter? Why is everyone talking about Twitter? What’s so special about Twitter? Is Twitter a person?
If you know the answers to these questions, then you’re not part of the 69% of adults who actually don’t have any idea what Twitter is.
According to a report by LA Times, in a survey of 2,025 U.S. adults, 69% said they didn’t know enough about Twitter to comment on the service.

- Of 1,015 advertisers surveyed, 17% didn’t know much about the microblogging service.
- 50% of advertisers surveyed said they expected Twitter to experience a huge growth in the next few years.
- 20% felt Twitter was only for young people.
- Only 12% of consumers surveyed said Twitter use would grow in the coming years, and an equal percent felt only young people used Twitter.
