A new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project claims that 19 percent, or nearly 1 in 5, Americans who use the Internet also use Twitter or some other social networking status update service to keep in touch and share information about themselves with others. The bigger news is that this figure is almost double what it was in a previous survey in December of 2008.One thing to note is the qualifying statement throughout the report that it is a survey of those "who use Twitter or another status update service." Twitter is getting the attention from the survey, but based on the wording of the statement it seems that Facebook may make up a significant portion of the responses-- perhaps more than Twitter.
