A report out today from Hitwise, the online intelligence service, shows that Twitter traffic has increased 22-fold over the last 12 months, ranking as the 38th most visited website in the UK and the fifth most visited social network, during May 2009.
Wow.
Even more wow when you consider that just one year ago, it was the 969th most visited website and 84th most visited social network.
The report states that Twitter has been the fastest growing major website in the UK over the last 12 months, and it has certainly been the most talked about with a host of high profile celebrity endorsements, by everyone from Stephen Fry to Ashton Kutcher.
And what’s more, Hitwise’s figures may not even reflect the true popularity as they only measured traffic to the main Twitter website and not people accessing their Twitter accounts via mobile phones and third party apps like Twitterific, Twitterfeed and Tweetdeck. If these were included the number could be significantly higher.
