Guardian info-graphic: How Africa Tweets

FILED UNDER: Basics, Africa, Twitter

Here is a visual display of How Africa Uses Twitter, courtesy of The Guardian.

Though perhaps it should have been entitled Where Africa Tweets, since it’s not so much a description of how people tweet as where most tweets come from, it’s an interesting look at social media in Africa. South Africa outscores everyone, even Egypt.

I took special note of the fact that 68 percent of those polled said they used Twitter to monitor the news.
