I was always suspicious of Twitterers who follow more than a couple hundred people (personally, I only follow 56). When someone adds me who follows that more than a few hundred (yet have less than a hundred following them), I never even look at their profiles. I use Twitter because I’m a believer in “the power of small.” People who try to turn Twitter into something big don’t get it at all.

Nik, the numbers on user share are based on the number of status updates, i.e., 20% of tweets are posted using TweetDeck. This is different from the number of users using TweetDeck.

Ben, good questions – I’ve been meaning to do some analysis like this for a few years – maybe within the next year? :-)
Nik, interesting questions – perhaps since the most prominent Twitterers mainly use Tweetdeck on the desktop, that’s what newbies and others hear about first…

Seeing Australia at number 4 is great news… for us. :P
As for statistics – the fact that 50% comes from web is not that surprising… Twitter’s advantage is that you can access it anywhere you have an internet connection. You don’t need a dedicated tool.
But TweetDeck’s remaining dominance IS surprising. I wonder what this is due to… an early market entry? Tweetdeck seems, at least to me, a power user’s tool. And power users are by default a minority. Or am I missing something here? :)

I wonder how these correspond to other factors like:
1. Availability of SMS service? (For example, the US has it; the UK has it if you’re on Vodafone.)
2. Cost of handsets / data plans?
3. 3G network coverage?
