Stephanie Fierman Says Fridays Are Twitterific!

Twitter.  Twitter.  Twitter.  I am twittering… but I’m getting a headache, too.

Nielsen has recently fielded a survey about the top 5 fastest growing “community destinations” and anyone who now(unwillingly) knows where all their friends are at all times coulda have predicted that the winner would be Twitter.

And regardless of what you might think of the service, you’ve got to respect this kind of insane growth:

One of the most remarkable tidbits from the survey is that Twitter’s largest demographic is users between 35 and 49 years old.  So Facebook may have invited us oldies in, but Twitter has captured our hearts.  And our hearts are captured, on average, 14 times a month for an average of 7 minutes per session.

From my experience, a lot of people are spending a lot more time on the site than this - too much time, in some cases, as captured by this funny  video:



So tweet on, my friends.  But please stop saying “Good morning,” “Good night,” and “Mmmm, coffee,” ok? If your spouse or best friend would give you a dirty look if you bothered them at work with a comment… a good standard, perhaps, to keep in mind when bugging the rest of us.

To follow me on Twitter, go to www.twitter.com/stephfierman and click “Follow.”  I promise not to share anything about my lunch.
