Twitter Use Explodes!


Many people have been saying that Twitter's popularity has been declining. WRONG! In reality there has been more Tweets on twitter than ever before. Tweets have reached a record breaking 50 million everyday! Twitter measured over 600 tweets per SECOND-that is alot! in the time it takes you to read this blog over 100,000 tweets have been posted. Twitter launched in 2007 with a mere 5,000 tweets per day-which is nothing compared to the 50 million that is being recorded. In 2008 there were about 300,000 tweets per day and in 2009 there were up to 35 million per day. Facebook is still the most popular social networking device with people updating there statuses by about 60 million per day. Myspace is now a thing of the past. Do you still check your myspace? Myspace fizzled out when facebook took over. I cant help but wonder if facebook and twitter will do the same. there are thousands of social networking sites springing up constantly, who is to say that they wont become a thing of the past? I am personally really surprised at twitters popularity. I mean all it is, is status updates..... It in no way offers as much entertainment and games as facebook does yet it is now the second most popular social networking site. How do you feel about twitter? are you a user?

  1. WOW Those numbers are impressive! I knew Twitter was popular but I was had no idea it was that popular. You are absolutely right about MySpace now being a thing of the past. I would not be surprised if Facebook and Twitter become obsolete one day. I just wonder what's going to be the "next hot thing" when it comes to social networking sites.
