Undoubtedly, today micro-blogging plays an important role in social networks, especially Twitter, which was launched in 2006 and now has over 200 million active monthly users.
In 2012, Twitter made ​changes to its design (the bird logo) and it’s reach with tie-ins
to LinkedIn and Instragram, and grew exponentially, reporting in March 2012 (its sixth
anniversary) 140 million monthly users.
In March, users were creating 340 million “tweets” per day, but as of December this year,
that figure is estimated to exceed 400 million “tweets” every 24 hours.
When compared with other social networks like Facebook in popularity, Twitter’s 200
million users seem small next to the billion users on the Zuckerberg network.
But the substantial growth of adding an additional 60 million users in nine months
continues to show the strength that Twitter, the 140 character network, has in the social
media world.
