The Truth About Twitter's Numbers
![]() |
How many people use Twitter? Many fewer than Twitter would lead you to believe. According to its "about" page, Twitter has 175 million registered users. But "registered users" is a funny term. What it really means is the number of accounts. So, according to Twitter, 175 million Twitter accounts have been opened during Twitter's history But if you ask "How many individuals are active users of Twitter"? There is no definite numbers Facebook has a simple answer to this question. It says 600 million people visit Facebook each month, and that half come back every day.Twitter doesn't share this number. According to Businessinsider
Those are some interesting figures, because they show us Twitter is much smaller than the "175 million!" number might lead us to believe. Twitter's API data shows that there are 56 million accounts on Twitter following 8 or more accounts. There are only 38 million following 16, and just 12 million following 64. |
