Millions of people. This site has grown more than 700% this year alone, to more than 10 million users, and it's only April 2009 as I write this.
In fact, when trying to peg this new medium to a particular demographic (e.g., as done with Facebook), many pundits and reporters and "experts" are finding it difficult, as the trending appears to be readily shifting across all age groups and demographics. Last week, a ComScore survey surfaced indicating that Twitter's exceptional growth could actually be attributed not to kids, but their parents... as its popularity has exploded since the crash of the US Airways flight into the Hudson River, and the subsequent (almost immediate) posting of the first photos on Twitter...
Take that great PR story for Twitter, combined with appearances of Biz Stone, co-founder, on shows like The Colbert Report and others... and tweens and 20-somethings shift to 30-50 somethings...
Okay, that's who's using Twitter. Now what the heck is it, right?...
