A recent article stated that Twitter is now growing by 5K - 10K new accounts everyday with a total user base of 4 - 5 million.

It also said that 70% of those users joined in 2008 and 20% in the last 60 days.

If you're not on twitter yet now is the time to jump aboard.

The big key with twitter and any other social service is to use it as a medium for people to get to know YOU not necessarily your business.

When used correctly Twitter and all other Social Sites allow you to connect with your customers and future customers by growing real friendships and relationships with them and allowing them to see that you are a real person and more than just another site on the net trying to sell something.

Here's a link to the article: 5,000-10,000 new Twitter accounts a day: study

Happy Holidays to everyone!

    It would be interesting to know what % of those accounts are actively used, however you want to define that, such as posting there at least once a day on average. I see many profiles where the person made a total of 1 or 2 posts but the account is at least a month old, probably since it is so fast and easy to create an account.

    In other words, what % of those new accounts will NOT be abandoned like that?

      I have to agree with the "active use" sentiment. Especially with all the software that is being used to exploit twitter now with automated creation of accounts and tweets.
