Why are we adding loads of lists to Business on Twitter?

Bright AtlantaI’ve been asked this quite a lot recently, and as I have nothing to hide, I thought I’d blog about it :)

Recently we’ve added a lot of posts asking for lists of people – copywriters, PR companies, recruiters, Marketing people – and we plan to add a lot more.

And lots of you have emailed me saying “Why are you doing this?” – some of you even think I have some evil master plan :)

It’s a Twitter Twaffic Explosion!

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.

I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
