I was reading Twitter Facts during lunch and thought, “how many of us are in Australia?” so I spent a few minutes to find out. I used 2 different tools, first TwitDir and then Twitter’s in built search.
Just to note both search tools have limits. TwitDir only searches public timelines, while both search Usernames, Locations and Biographical information as such they can generate weird results.
From TwitDir:-
- Sydney – 1,002
- Melbourne – 840
- Brisbane – 282
- Perth – 246
- Adelaide – 136
- Canberra – 88
- Darwin – 67
- Total – 2,661 they have 2,228 Twits who are listed in Australia, probably the location does not include Australia
From Twitter directly:-
- Sydney – 1,353
- Melbourne – 1,136
- Brisbane – 407
- Perth – 346
- Adelaide -183
- Canberra – 134
- Darwin – 49
- Total – 3,608 they have 3,017 Twits who are listed in Australia again, probably the location does not include Australia

Nice, so we had 12% of Canberra’s Twitter user group represented at CTUB1

Glad to see Sydney is doing well. Now if only a major part of that turned up to STUB meetups, that would be neat.. no? I suppose for any *TUB’s..
