Twitter wins 30 million users in the past two months

The co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, has revealed some interesting declarations to the New York Times about the increasing demand of Twitter accounts. The famous site of microblogging has now over 175 million users registered. This means that about 30 million users have signed up in the last two months, and that 70 million users come from last April.

This significates an enormous increase if we take in mind that there was a total of 58 million users in 2009 (and 503.000 three years ago). This is an increase over 200 per cent since 2009 to 2010 in terms of users. The tax of Twitter is growing every day and the company could end this year with over 200 million users.

The changes announced in September could have collaborated to this increase of users. On the other hand, in September, Williams said that the traffic in Twitter.com had increased about a 100% this year and he also reassured that an average of 370.000 new users registered every day.

Why to use the Social Media

People often say that social media is a way to show and reveal all your life to people. They accuse the lack of

privacy and the lack of intimacy that they don’t have.

However, what they don’t understand is that social media is the new source of info, news and feedbacks. Social media is the best way to know and understand consumers. Their emotions, their feellings, what they think about anything, what they prefer, their emotions, their lovemarks, their favourite products and Brands…

If you are have a business and you are not in the social media, you are wasting an enormous opportunity to understand the behaving of consumers in order to improve your communication towards them.

Social media is the best way to keep in touch with consumers and your target audience.

I can’t understand how I discovered Twitter just a few weeks ago. I knew it existed, but I didn’t find it useful, I preferred Facebook. However, now I have discovered it I think it is a great chance of discovering what people’s attitude towards life is, not only because their share their thoughts on the media but because we can analyse their thoughts and preferences and make them profitable to our business or comunications role.

Long life to social media!
