It's funny to see Twitter increase so much, especially since everyone is dissing the retention rate. But I like that Blogger has increased, I think that's a sign that people may be "getting" blogging more, or at least becoming more engaged with the online conversation, good post!

Twitter's growth is simply phenomenal, although I'm still unsure as to whether or not it will be able to sustain its popularity. With the study showing that most Twitterer's leave within a month of signing up, Twitter needs to establish their user base and give people a reason to stay on the site. They also need to fix their spam problems.

I'm pretty surprised by Twitters insane growth, though when Oprah endorses something I guess that's inevitable.

I love Twitter and these results are not
surprising. I think Twitter will continue
to grow and stay very popular.
