If you’re not using Twitter for your business yet, now may be the time to start.

Here are some stats from Pew Internet Project that might surprise you:

  • Nearly 20% of Internet users now tweet, according to statistics from the Pew Internet Project. That’s an 8% jump from late 2008.*
  • Twitter’s 18-24 demographic almost doubled in size over the past two years (from 19% of all Internet users to a remarkable 37%).
  • Users between 34-44 jumped 10%, another significant jump in that it includes a high percentage of b2b and b2c prospects.
  • Most users primarily visit the site to post status updates or stay on top of what’s happening with favorite celebrities, websites and companies.
  • People that use other social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace are far more likely to post regularly on Twitter.
  • The smallest pool of Twitter users continues to be prospects age 45-65. Still, that demographic grew by 10% during the past 15 months.* Source: “19 Percent of U.S. Internet Users Tweet,” Sales and Marketing Management Magazine, 7/31/10
