Toronto Twitterers are Tops at sending Tweets
Hubspot just released their state of the twittersphere report for the last quarter.
Twitter has gone through 600% growth this year with about 10,000 new accounts being opened every day now. 35% have 10 or fewer followers and 9% have no followers at all – likely people who heard about Twitter and signed up only to find that the exp
erience is not as intuitive or rewarding as facebook was.
Just like facebook though, Canadians are world leaders in using Twitter with Toronto representing one of the largest hubs in the world – currently ranked 8th. London, Uk is the top hub with San Fransico, New York and Chicago closely behind.
Twitter has truly entered mainstream consciousness – so it will be interesting to see if world wide adoption of the micro-blogging service will mirror that of facebook – which also has a huge following in our multi-cultural country.
I’m still skeptical that it will become useful for anyone other than geeks and celebrity gossip junkies, but i’ve been wrong before with Twitter.
