Nielsen on Twitter Quitters

According to a recent Nielsen poll, Twitter quitters outnumber habitual tweeters, "currently, more than 60 percent of U.S. Twitter users fail to return the following month. ... For most of the past 12 months ... Twitter has languished below 30 percent retention. ... Twitter has enjoyed a nice ride over the last few months, but it will not be able to sustain its meteoric rise without establishing a higher level of user loyalty."
