Internet monitoring group Hitwise has release an analysis of Twitter that counts it as still a niche site, but with incredible growth. “Year on year, Internet visits to Twitter.com are up 8 fold. In the past three months, visits have more than doubled and traffic continues to climb, up 60% in the past month.” Read the story.
