Comments on: Twitter growth? 1382% http://twitterforchurches.com/blog/2009/03/20/twitter-growth-1382/ Helping Churches Leverage Twitter Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:59:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris Dillingham http://twitterforchurches.com/blog/2009/03/20/twitter-growth-1382/comment-page-1/#comment-76 Chris Dillingham Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:59:04 +0000 http://twitterforchurches.com/blog/?p=189#comment-76 Yeah, 1382% is awesome. The article shows Facebook in third place for growth though with Zimbio in 2nd at 240%. I've never heard of Zimbio before today, but it sounds interesting. That momentum intrigues me - Zimbio's kind of typical on the list, going from 800K to nearly 3 million users. Facebook jumped from 20 million to 65 million in that time. Twitter moved from a mere 500K to 8 million. The percentage gains show Twitter way ahead, but it's only gained 7.5 million users in the time that Facebook gained 45 million. I'll leave it up to the reader to come up with interpretations, but imho, Facebook's gain is more impressive. Yeah, 1382% is awesome.
