If you thought that Facebook was growing at an amazing rate, Twitter’s is growing 3 times faster than Facebook!
“Compete’s stats for the two sites show that Twitter grew an enormous 76.8% in March alone. That’s on top of the 1,300% year on year growth rate for February 2009 – or to put it another way, Twitter has grown 2,300% in 13 months. The Twitter website is now clocking in 14 million visits per month, and that’s just on the website (Not Twitter clients), and just from the US.
Meanwhile Facebook is still posting huge growth, if not quite as stratospheric, with a 23.4% growth over March, putting it at 195% growth year on year, and 91m US visits. ” – Mirror.co.uk
