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
