It seems like about half the PR-related tweets on Twitter are about … you guessed it, Twitter.  Well, Twitter and social media.

But just like bloggers like to write about blogging, it seems Twitterers like to micro-blog about Twitter.  Not that there  isn’t some interesting things to note about the service or those who use it.  Just from today’s traffic, I found the following articles of interest:

Who uses Twitter?  According to this page in Quantcast, 53% of the Tweeps out there are female and more than 70% of them are between the ages of 18 and 49.  Eight in ten Twitter users are white and three out of four make in excess of $30k a year.

Twitter currently ranks in the top 250 sites on the ‘net and reaches over 6.1 million people (uniques) every month who visit an average of eight times per month.

Social Media At Work reports that Twitter has now passed the New York Times in traffic.

And while Google’s mantra is to do good (or at leat not to do evil), there are apparenty a few folks who don’t carry that standard over to their Twitter usage – judging from the subject of this page on DiGorno’s plans to deliver pizzas to influential Tweeps.  As blogger Matt Rhodes points out, it’s a little weird that the “not delivery” pizza is planning on delivering pizza to catch a buzz on Twitter. 

Talk about half-baked.

And finally, there’s this broad look at social media (in general) and Twitter specifically defined as the “best”in social media marketing.  This is an informative article, well worth the read.  And the sites it links to are worth bookmarking in your browser for future use.

Enjoy the weekend.
