According to our data, 90% of active Twitter users use official Twitter apps on a monthly basis.

I notice the omission of the words only or even mostly. I'm curious about the raw percentage of tweets from official/non-official apps.. and the percentage of users who use official applications say, 90+ % of the time.



Presumably, twitter.com is by definition an "official Twitter app."

So if you follow a web link to a tweet while logged in or authorize with oAuth, you've used an official Twitter app.

Given that possibly expansive criterion, 90% is on the low end of what I'd expect.


Good catch. How many people included in this 90% use, say, the official web client from the Apple store in a pinch or perhaps from work on the sly?
