That's a pretty meaningless figure without the methodology used to come up with it.

It might just mean 26 million uk adults have heard of a tweet. Think covfefe, barely anyone read that tweet and yet it reached everyone.

Down to 22.1 million now though, I think is the point.

But honestly, twitter never forms much of the conversation outside of media types.

People would of course talk about the information found on the platform, not the platform itself.
