Information is king (Facebook knows that well) and users don’t mind giving them to Twitter. A study conducted by Sysomos revealed that Twitter users disclosed significantly more information in 2010 compared to 2009.
Twitter is built simple. Your bio, name, location and website url are the four key information which Twitter asks for. In short, the proportion of users who shared their personal information doubled.
Check out the charts below, especially the one on location data.
One positive take away for the Twitter team is that users are fine to share their location. It brings Twitter one step closer toward location-based ads.
However, take note that the chart only reflects location shared on users’ profile. It isn’t revealed whether users are okay to share their tweets location. Location data gathered from tweets is certainly more useful (valid and precise) for location-based ads. Twitter obviously wants that but has to respect users’ privacy. For now, users can choose whether to share their tweets location via their profile setting.
