Tweets Loud and Quiet: A Random Sample of Twitter Accounts (2013) Analyzed

A uniform random sample of Twitter accounts: Jon Bruner (O'Reilly Radar) polled 599,023 randomly chosen account ids between September 17 and October 19, 2013; 292,587 belonged to existing accounts, 86,728 to closed ones and the rest were never assigned. For each existing account it records the profile (handle, name, description, language, location, creation date), follower, following, tweet and list counts, and the last tweet with its time and place. ECHO analyses the 164,171 accounts with a profile description or a last tweet. Useful for seeing how quiet the typical account is, the distribution of audience and activity, and sampling bias in Twitter studies. MPL-2.0.
