Twitter has 500 million users globally, who have generated 170 billion tweets — almost 24 trillion characters, give or take.

China, surprisingly, has the most users, with 35.5 million micro-bloggers.

The list of top three users with the most followers shows that the social media powerhouse is not a Mensa meeting.

• @ justinbieber has 44.4 million bieliebers.
• @ katyperry has 42.6 million, presumably not all of them California Gurls.
• @ ladygaga has 40.1 million fans of bad romance.

According to The Post, the average number of followers is a paltry 208.
