世論 What Japan Thinks

Here’s a survey from goo Ranking that will probably hold true all over the world, I might be a Twitter addict if….

Demographics

Between the 21st and 23rd of June 2010 1,137 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.1% of the sample were female, 8.0% in their teens, 20.4% in their twenties, 31.2% in their thirties, 23.9% in their forties, 9.2% in their fifties, and 7.2 aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

I don’t think I suffer from any of the below. Note that Tweeting in the bath is very much possible in Japan as many phones are waterproof, or at least splashproof.
