Comscore stats show that Twitter traffic has increased by 131% to reach 9.3 million US visitors. But what is more interesting is research which shows that Twitter users are 2 or 3 times more likely to visit top online news sites like Yahoo News, CNN and MSNBC than the average person.

For example, while 17 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience visited CNN.com in March, more than double that percentage (38 percent) of Twitter.com visitors did so. So these data firmly establish that there’s a strong relationship between Twitter users and news consumption.
