So it's the end of the speculation, but not the end of the speculation because the data -> useless?
- wanorris 18y agoWhy is it useless?
- softbuilder 18y agoApproaching useless. And here's some quotes from the article: "None of that data is particularly useful, since so much of the action on Twitter occurs via mobile phones, instant messaging and desktop clients" "Note: It’s not clear what the 1 million total users refers to, since there are many more registered users" Also, note the commenters saying that the count is higher/lower than expected. Plus some not sure what to expect. I'm not hating on Twitter or the OP, just find the data rather meaningless.
- wanorris 18y agoI stand corrected. Site traffic is definitely a weak metric, and total users indeed probably isn't that interesting. I find the 200K active users/week and 3M messages quite interesting. I admit, it would be more enlightening to know the distribution -- or at least something like the median number of messages per active user -- but that's a pretty good sense of the reach of Twitter.
- softbuilder 18y agoI hear what you're saying. Seeing some numbers does at least indicate people are using it. So if that was in doubt before, I guess it isn't now. But did anyone really doubt it?
