Despite Twitter’s rapid growth over the past year, a new study found that few members on the microblogging site can be classified as “True Twitter Users.” Researchers from Barracuda Networks defined a True Twitter User using three simple criteria: ten followers, follows ten people, and has posted at least ten tweets. Sounds simple, right?

Well, after analyzing more than 19 million Twitter accounts, the research team found that only 21 percent of the site’s users fell into the true user category with the remaining 79 percent lacking at least one of the three requirements.

Other tantalizing Twitter study tidbits:

• 74 percent of users have less than ten followers
• 17 percent of users have zero followers
