Pierre Chappaz (French entrepreneur who sold Kelkoo to Yahoo!) reposted this drawing Gizmodo put on their site earlier.
What's interesting, as Pierre highlights, is all the grey people. The 80-20 rule applies to most consumer products. 20% of your audience drives 80% of your traffic. It's not surprising that 5% of Twitter users generate most of the tweets, nor that 5% of Twitter users have more than 100 followers. Also, the little green ones show the potential of Twitter. Those are people who may use the product once a month or so, and therefore can be activated and turn into more engaged users.
That being said, I believe this is where Facebook is very powerful. Even though I don't have the number, I could easily imagine that the percentage of users on Facebook who contribute often is much larger than 20%.
