Seems like the kind of response rate you'd expect for a traditional publication, which isn't surprising given that it doesn't seem like the tweeter has any kind of real relationship with the followers - they are just using it as a twitter version of an RSS feed.
I've seen this on some feeds we run - the response rates on Twitter are very low, especially because most folks don't expect their reply to be read by the other followers of the original account. Contrast that with Facebook where the followers of a page can see each other's responses and our pages with ~25K followers regularly see 150-200 responses to each post - and they post at least 6-12 times a day.
