Twitter: The Fastest-Growing Social Network

While I love Twitter, and continuously share information on the network, it may not be my favorite. LinkedIn currently has me hooked. I love the sharing of professional information, as well as, making connections with professionals of similar interests. Plus, the group feature has really drawn my interest as of late. I am not sure why I have not taken advantage of the tool sooner.

However, I am not blind of Twitter’s recent dominance. In fact, it is its quick reference that I enjoy so much. Which is probably why I enjoy LinkedIn so much, because of its Twitter connectivity. Twitter is a dominant social network with a ton of great information (if you follow the right profiles) and it is so easy to share, that I can understand its recent growth.

Twitter’s traffic growth has been tops amongst all social networks for the past three years. The site saw 32.5 million visitors in July, and is now the 34th most-visited site in the U.S., leap-frogging the stagnant LinkedIn (ranked 36th).
