Those with high incomes used it more for disseminating information and had more followers. Those with lower incomes used it more for social reasons.

Linguists and psychologists have been using the content of messages on Twitter to learn more about our society - in areas such as gender, age trends and politics. Now, a new study by computer scientists at the University of Pennsylvania has found that the behaviors of Twitter users also correlate with their income levels.
