Some of the most interesting highlights are below, see the infographic for full details:

This is a great infographic, but very hard to see. It would be great if you could post a bigger version.

Thought it was interesting to see 40% of people don't actually tweet but just check their timeline. I have seen this often.
Thanks for your research, the graphic looks great.
Do you know why tweets last so much longer than Facebook posts?
