Twitter’s Explosive Growth

According to Compete, in September both Twitter and Facebook’s growth has come to a standstill.

There is a difference between Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is already huge and there may not be room for growth. But Twitter is smaller with room to grow and has been dubbed the “new SMS”.  In September, its unique visitors fell by 0.17%, to 23,538,791. Over the last three months, it has grown approximately three times less than in May alone. Facebook experienced a solid 3.99% increase to 2,290,512,524, but Twitter actually dropped by a further 2.68% to 144,661,590

When it comes to other social networking powerhouses of old, the situation is far, far worse. MySpace and Bebo are at a low with users at a pace: 11.15% and 15.41%. If the trend continues, we might see these sites join services in a couple of years.

Judging by the very diverse numbers, many feel that the period ahead of us will be different than before. Users are getting picky and they’re very fast to jump on and off bandwagons.
