Twitter Adding 300K per Day and 105,779,710 Registered Users

Twitter founded on March 21, 2006 now reached at 105,779,710 registered users. Twitter's Biz Stone just reeled off some key, and very long awaited stats at Chirp. The stats. The facts showing how popular this micro blogging site. According to comScore, Twitter had 69.5 million unique visitors to its site in February.
Here the stats for twitter:
    * Twitter has 105,779,710 registered users.
    * It gets 300,000 new users a day.
    * It receives 180 Million Unique visitors a month.
    * And 75% of traffic comes from outside of Twitter.com

According to comScore, Twitter had 69.5 million unique visitors to its site in February. Also the numbers are a bit confusing because you don’t have to be a registered user to visit Twitter.com, and 75 percent of usage comes from other apps, which really underscores the importance of outside developers. CEO Evan Williams later on noted that developers are making 3 billion requests a day through the APIs. Twitter now has 175 employees, up from 25 a year ago.



"Twitter is truly a collaboration and that is not changing," said Williams. But Stone said Twitter would continue to fill in holes it sees in the main product by developing new features and acquiring companies. "I anticipate a few more" acquisitions this year, Stone said. "I don't know if we're going too crazy. But there's certain things that we need to get done and we want to get done fast, and there's certain things we can take our time building." 

The social networking services are increasingly challenging established Web players, like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, by competing for users time online and for advertising dollars. Twitter executive Dick Costolo also cited commercial accounts, which Twitter is currently testing with a couple hundred companies, as the second main money-making pillar. 

Twitter, which allows users to send short, 140-character text messages, or Tweets, to groups of so-called followers, is one of the Web's most popular social networking services, along with Facebook and LinkedIn.
