Well, in the Northeast, we like the f-word and “asshole.” The blog Strong Language geo-coded tweets, and the results are pretty — well — damning.

I don’t think tweets are a very good indicator of that type of thing. Out West anyway. Traditionally, we like to save our expletives for your face.
But…I don’t twitter unless I’m mildly amused…and I don’t tweet unless compelled by an overindulgence of complex carbohydrates. So what do I know.
No, I think you point out a hole in this research. How many people — compared to the general population — tweet? They service has 300+ million users worldwide, but I think the most-quoted stat is that less than 20 percent of Americans use Twitter on anything like a regular basis. Is that group fairly representative of America? Nope.The average Twitter user is a 28-year old woman who likes purple. I did not make that up, but that stat is from something like 2012, so that’s most likely changed. I just thought it was funny.
I did a quick look and that 20% figure is what I saw. More people subscribe and follow than tweet every day. Younger more than older. More women than men…but not by much.
I didn’t delve too deep into the research because I always start to get upset when I realize somebody’s getting paid for this kind of thing and it’s just too early. I can’t get a good rage on until I’ve had Coffee#2.
Then: Onward! To Coffee #2!
Definitely….
I think there’s going to be a #3 in there today, too. I’m trying to raise the average for my demographic.
Goals are important.
Aren’t they just?
