Yes Facebook is a much bigger force than Twitter, but I think it is foolish to write off Twitter. As the report states, &#8221; just 16.4 million US adults, or 9% of the adult Internet population used Twitter.&#8221; I am not sure about you, but I am not going to ignore 9% of the adult internet population that continues to grow. That is a lot of traffic. Twitter users are different than Facebook users and you need a different approach to your Twitter marketing. Don&#8217;t be a fool and write off Twitter just yet.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>New estimates by eMarketer indicate that while growth continues to rise at Twitter, just 16.4 million US adults, or 9% of the adult Internet population used Twitter at least monthly in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter has continued to gain traction but at more moderate levels than we had expected,\u201d Verna said. \u201cOur updated figures put Twitter usage in a clearer perspective than published data showing hundreds of millions of Twitter accounts, or site traffic stats that include visitors who browse public tweets on Twitter.com but don\u2019t actually use the microblogging service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I believe it important to note that eMarketer\u2019s forecast represents a downward revision of its prediction made in April 2010.<\/p>\n<p>When compared to Facebook, Twitter looks increasingly like a non-threat. eMarketer foreceasts that 132.5 million US web users will use the site monthly. According to the announcement, \u201cThat increase of 13.4% in the number of users means Facebook will reach almost nine in 10 social network users and 57.1% of internet users. By 2013, 62% of web users and almost half (47.6%) of the overall US population will be on Facebook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.websitemagazine.com\/content\/blogs\/posts\/archive\/2011\/02\/24\/so-long-twitter-hello-facebook.aspx\">So Long Twitter, Hello Facebook &#8211; Website Magazine &#8211; Website Magazine<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Magazine just published a article titled, So Long Twitter, Hello Facebook.
