According to a recent poll, the average Twitter user has 70 followers. This number seems rather low, until you consider the different ways in which people use Twitter.
On the one hand, there are people who use Twitter to keep in touch with a group of personal friends and acquaintances.
On the other hand, there are people who use Twitter to build a network of contacts which will help to boost their business.
We suspect that people who use Twitter for business purposes will have far more followers than average (perhaps 5 or even 10 times more than average), but there’s only one way to test this theory. So if you’re a Twitter business user, this poll will either confirm our theory or make us look rather stupid.

Higher numbers than I expected to see. Imagine if 100 of those people retweeted something you said. Lot’s of traffic.
