I’ve sat around at dinner parties debating whether or not Twitter is a passing fad that will be gone in a year or a social networking tool with some muscle. I’ve been arguing that it is great for directing people to Web sites… And yesterday, a TechCrunch tweet confirmed that I was right. Twitter is now second to Google in driving Web site traffic. The prediction is that by next year, Twitter will outpace Google in this category.
Currently, Twitter is growing at a rate of 30-40% per month. In the last year, the number of users has grown from 1.1 million to 32.1 million. I’d say that these are some stats with some muscle.
How do you feel about twitter?
