twitter UK traffic hitwise

More irrefutable proof of Twitter’s continual growth and surge into the mainstream. Hitwise reports that last week Twitter became one of the 100 most visited websites in the UK for the first time.

It ranked 91st within All Categories, placing above online heavyweights such as Expedia UK (96), Gumtree (100), easyJet (101), Digital Spy (103) and Money Supermarket (105). Twitter traffic has already more than trebled this year, and much of that growth has come since we last wrote about the site in January… Over the last 12 months traffic to Twitter.com has increased 27 fold. However, the service is likely even more popular than our numbers imply, as we are only measuring traffic to the main Twitter website.
