Twitter growth and traffic declines
Posted on January 20, 2010 by by valerirojas
According to the latest report from HubSpot, the growth and traffic of the popular mini blogging website Twitter is dramatically slowing down.
In October 2009 the Twitter user base grew 3.5% — robust growth for most web applications, but far below the 13% growth in users Twitter experienced back in March 2009.
“The decline in Twitter user growth is happening as traffic on Twitter.com also declines; ComScore reported that unique visitors to Twitter.com grew only 3.5% from October to November, and both Compete.com and Quantcast.com show similar declines in traffic growth.”

The good news however is that the average Twitter user is more engaged than a six months ago.
- Today the average Twitter account has 300 followers; in July, it had 70
- The average account now follows 173 accounts; in July it was only following 47
- The average account today has posted 420 updates; in July that number was 119
