Hitwise figures show Twitter success
UK internet visits to Twitter have increased six-fold since the start of the year and 32-fold over the last 12 months.
According to the latest figures from Hitwise, the micro-blogging website has entered the top 50 websites in the UK, becoming the fifth most popular social networking site.
“To put that figure into context, Twitter received more UK Internet visits in this period than the Daily Mail, RightMove, MSN UK Search, Directgov, and all retail websites – with the exception of eBay, Amazon UK, Play.com and Argos,†said a Hitwise spokesman.
Twitter was also the 36th biggest source of traffic to other websites in the UK during March.
According to media reports, Google is considering a bid for the website.
