Average Twitter user has 208 followers?

Interesting, if true.

I’ll be honest: the numbers on these have always been a bit too vague for my liking. And by ‘vague’ I mean ‘seemingly arbitrary.’ I mean, I’m sure that there’s a distribution curve; but how do you compensate for the spambots and and long-term-inactive accounts? …To give just two examples, right off the top of my head.

One thought on “Average Twitter user has 208 followers?”

  1. Average here is a relative term, I would look at this graph and say the “average” user has $20K, only because a couple people drop a million or more throwing off the math.
