Here are some interesting twitter statistics according to worldwide comScore who releases figures today.
- 73.5 million unique individuals visited Twitter in January 2010, up 8 percent from December
- Twitter has an amazing growth rate of 1,105 percent!
- 2009 was Twitter’s best year ever!
- It is estimated 1 billion tweets were tweeted in December and 1.2 billion tweets in January! (information provided by Crunchbase)
Keep in mind that comScore configures these number from twitters own site. These numbers do not record usage from mobile phones and other applications like the popular hootsuite and twillow tools. Numbers from those apps may be twice as large.
With almost 75 million users tweeting over a billion tweets a month, it makes sense for you to use twitter strategically to grow your business! Read more about strategic tweets and how to make twitter work for you!

Hi Paul,
Twitter and Facebook are both great ways to stay in touch with friends and family. You can share news and pictures easily. Business wise, Twitter is a great tool to promote your business and promotions. You can also find targeted friends and followers quickly. Plus, it is very inexpensive- most social media sites like Twitter and facebook costs nothing to join. Twitter now has 150 million users and if used strategically, you can achieve marketing results. I would suggest you read my other blogs about Twitter.
