126 followers for each
Twitter lead programmer Evan Weaver, during his presentation at QCon 2009 (she was dedicated to optimizing the key components of Twitter), published the latest statistics on the service.
From interesting figures - the number of followers of the average user, which looks unusually large: as many as 126 people. Apparently, this is an arithmetic average, which does not quite reflect the real picture. In fact, the absolute majority of users probably have no more than a couple of dozen followers, that is, the geometric mean is located approximately in that area.
Another interesting figure - it turns out, only 20% of Twitter users go to the official website. The rest publish messages from a mobile phone or through a separate client program.

At peak times six months ago (during Obama’s presentation), 300 tweets per second were posted on the site. Now the peaks are much higher.
