Twitter Global Visitors Cross Digg, LinkedIn, NYTimes

Twitter’s shooting up at a reckless pace as if it’s got a nitro boost.  Figures released by comScore reveals that Twitter’s global unique visitor this April had touched 32 million, gaining 13 million visitors since March 2009. Twitter flaunts 17 million unique visitors in U.S alone. It has surpassed the likes of Digg at 32 million, LinkedIn at 16 million and NYTimes at 17.5 with an overwhelming margin, according to comSource. In fact, comSource only measures the number of people who visit Twitter website and not the millions more who send and read tweets via their phones, desktop apps, or other Websites.  Twitter.com has also taken over Bebo and Freindster for what it is worth.  

The pace at which Twitter is adding visitors is amazing. There was a period when Twitter was a little tom with just 10 million monthly unique visitors. Now Twitter is flooded with visitors that is ever increasing. From March to April the unique visitors jumped to 13 million and a leap of 9 million from February. On the contrary, there’s a decline in the month-over-month growth rate, which dropped from 95 percent to 68 percent this month. Given the decline, if Twitter keeps on adding 10 million global visitors every month, it would have 50 million this summer and an estimated 100 million at the end of this year. No surprise, even the likes of Google could lag behind, if Twitter continues its good work.
