Social Media Makes People Less Social Dec. 2013 | Page 9

Did you know that there are now 231.7 million active users on Twitter worldwide, and that 100 million of them log into the service on daily basis, and 52.7 Million of these are in the US?

What if I told you that more than 5K tweets are tweeted each and every second, and 3 million websites integrate with Twitter, while 70 percent of Twitter’s ad revenue comes from mobile devices and that, despite this, the company has yet to turn a profit?

I can tell you from personal experience, I check twitter several times a day and I can not go to sleep without checking it and make sure I am up to date with my twitter news feed. Even if I am up to date with the news feed, I still keep refreshing in hopes that someone will tweet that very second. It’s ridiculous how obsessed some people can be with twitter, *cough cough* me.
