100 Million New Users

In 2010 Twitter signed on more that 100 million new users. And as the number of Twitter users grows, the usage of Twitter by existing users is also growing.

Twenty-one percent of Twitters users are following more that 100 people. That is an increase of 7% over last year. And sixteen percent have over 100 followers.

The average Twitter user is still a newbie. Over 80 percent of the users have fewer than 500 tweets. And 22 percent of the users are responsible for 90 percent of the tweets.

How are you going to expand your usage of Twitter in 2011?

Twitter Is On The Move

Twitters monthly unique visitors reached 96 million in August. That’s 1 million more that MySpace had. And part of that jump is because they are making significant changes to the service. A lot of that has come in the last week or so with their update in the service. It is now easier to access photos, videos and other information on the site. Previously, a third party site had to be included.

Last month Twitter announced that Tweet number 20 billion had been sent.

Twitter Use Accelerating

Five billion of those tweets have come in the last two month. And ten billion of those tweets have come in the last five months. What does that tell you about Twitter?

With usage accelerating, it is becoming obvious that Twitter is becoming a widely accepted means of communication across the globe. Currently there are about 1140 tweets sent every second.

How many of those tweets are you responsible for?
