Actually, you may be looking only at the Comet side of Twitter and missing avery long tail. According to co-founder Biz Stone, the Average Twitter user, as of three weeks ago, followed about 10 other people and posted an average of three times weekly.

What is true and is of concern to me is the current surge of people trying to use Twitter as a brand extender, or as a marketing push device. About half my followers in the last week are from brand names and aliases, not people. How this comes out on Twitter remains to be seen or so it seems to me.
