Guillaume and the moose

In France, I've read that only 60% of the "tweets" are ... in French. And 1% of users are French on this microblogging website.

Of course, Twitter is a worldwide media. Where do all the tweets come from ? A recent study from Sysomos shows that :

• 30% from USA
• 15% from Japan
• 12% from Brazil
• 10% from Indonesia
• 6% from the UK

Where are the Germans ? the French ? even Corean ?

About 50% of the messages are posted in English.  And you, what language do you speak on Twitter ?

Want more figures ?

• 85.3% of all Twitter users post less than one update/day
• 93.6% of users have less than 100 followers, while 92.4% follow less than 100 people.
• 5% of Twitter users account for 75% of all activity
• More than 50% of all updates are published using tools – mobile and Web-based – other than
  Twitter.com. TweetDeck is the most popular non-Twitter.com tool with 19.7% market share.
• there are more women on Twitter (53%) than men (47%)
