19% of U.S. Internet Users Tweet

NEW YORK The army of Twitterers is growing quickly, per the Pew Internet Project report released today. The report found that 19 percent of all U.S. Internet users now use either Twitter or smaller services, such as Yammer, to share social updates. This was up 8 percent from the 11 percent who used such services in April 2009.
 
The majority of the growth can be attributed to three main consumer groups: young Internet users 18-44, mobile users and those who already utilize social networks, such as Facebook and MySpace.
