UW Undertakes Twitter Demographic, Use Survey

Seattle, WA, May 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Twitter is hot, but what do we know about the people who tweet?

Researchers at the University of Washington are asking Twitter users to participate in the first in a series of demographic surveys designed to provide a unique store of historical and up-to-date information on the growth and trends in the use of Twitter and other micro-blogging services. The series value lies in its independent, objective view of developing Twitter demographics, culture, attitudes, and usage patterns.

The UW Twitter survey is accessible at http://tr.im/UWSurvey

Participant details are anonymous, however, participants may enter a drawing for Amazon gift certificates after completing the survey.

The current survey runs through 22 May 2009. A second survey will be conducted in six months and, like the original, it will be accessible for a month.
