Cartoon: Twitter holy dip By Techgirl
Twitter has more than 50 million members of which about 20 million tweet regularly. About 10 percent of Twitterers are responsible for 90 percent of the Tweets. While Twitter is a great communications tool, it is also a platform to satiate ones ego. A place to see and be seen.
Extrovert societies like USA account for 62 percent of all active Twitter users. India accounts for about 1.5 percent of all active Twitterers.
A Harvard study in 2009 showed that unlike other social networking platforms where women are the focus of most activity; on Twitter males have 15 percent more followers than females. That might explain the macho Tweets and talk about sex and sports.
What would Twitter be like if it had a more feminine balance and was in touch with its inner spirituality? I have teamed up with Chashmebaddoor to show how we cartoonists see it.
