If Twitter Consisted of 100 People [Gorgeous Graphics]

What if Twitter only had 100 users? How many would be chatty, how many lazy?

Based on the data from previous surveys - InsideTwitter and the PearAnalytics study - the InformationIsBeautiful blog has constructed these gorgeous graphics showing the Twitter community represented as 100 people.

While beautiful, the data is being painted with broad strokes: those with 100 followers should overlap with the "loud mouths", while having more than 100 followers in a population of 100 is technically not possible: it is, of course, a compromise to make the data more accessible via visualization. The original data is also the subject of some debate. Enjoy with a discerning eye. :)
