Twitter’s Traffic Climbs to Record Levels

Jul 302010

Twitter is flirting with the top 10 sites in the world based on Alexa’s traffic ranking system. Perhaps most people don’t realize Twitter is still putting on record growth because the Fail Whale hasn’t been making many appearances lately.

The novelty of Twitter may have worn off quickly for the original generation of twitter users, but the masses are finally discovering how to use twitter and overall activity is higher than ever for every metric.

Twitter traffic rated by Quantcast over the past 12 months:

Simplified mobile applications, integration into popular sites, and real time search result placements in Google have dramatically boosted exposure for the millions of Tweets posted daily.

How I get down on Twitter:

TweetDeck – hopefully you’ve already tried this yourself. Easily manage multiple accounts on multiple social networks, auto-url shortening with stats integration from bit.ly, and tons of custom layout options.

Web based clients:

Hoot Suite – great aggregator options allow you to manage multiple accounts with ease. Follow only the topics that you’re interested in with ease. The best feature for me here is scheduled Tweets on multiple accounts.

TwitterFall – posts fall onto your screen for whatever topics you choose. Uses different color backgrounds for tweets from different searches you’ve setup . It’s very hand to follow breaking events or trends.
