According to this, traffic to Twitter nearly doubled between Februdary and April 2008.
An interesting article from compete blog looks more indepth at Twitter and it’s reach.
They say:
- Twitter users are 10% more likely to be male than the average internet user. This skew is nearly identical across all three Usage groups.
- Twitter skews heavily towards the college/twenty-something crowd. Twitter attracts 18-24 year-olds at nearly twice the rate of an average U.S website.
- Splitting age demographics based on usage intensity shows that heavy users tend to skew older than visitors who only hit the site once a month. This could indicate that while the younger segments are more exploratory, the 25-44 year old segments have found more value in Twitter and started to ramp up usage.
I say:
Before too long even my Grandma will be on Twitter!
