15 billion tweets and growing... Twitter really matters!
Social media is brimming with astounding statistics that seem to flood in almost daily and today was no exception, courtesy of Mashable we discovered that today, the 15th billion tweet had been published on Twitter. Crikey!
What is even more remarkable is the growth in the number of tweets over time. From clocking up one billion in November 2008 and almost another 12 months to hit five billion, in March this year it reached 10 billion and less than three months later: 15,000,000,000.
When some have suggested the popularity of Twitter might be waning, this proves that engagement in increasing. I do feel proud that my main account @nigel_morgan has contributed 0.00000052 per cent to that whopping total!
That is a lot of Twittering and if you use Twitter for business, how would you ensure that your Tweets get heard about the chatter? Not only how do they get heard, but how do you ensure the right people notice them?
Certainly if you are a retail business or a serving consumers, Twitter should be a slam dunk for you to use to reach your customers. Are you Twittering?
