Do you twit? Or do you stalk people’s twit. Twitting has become a huge phenomenal, and zillions of people are going the twitter way, as if millions of people care about what they are eating for lunch and dinner. Yes, we all know Twitter is getting massive, but how massive? Well, let’s hear it from former Twitter CEO Evan Williams.

Evan Williams is a co-founder of Twitter, and he’s since stepped down as Twitter’s chief, in order to focus on product strategy. New York Times has some delicious info of Twitter from Mr Evan, and boy they’re massive. According to NYT, Twitter has 175 million registered users, up from 503,000 three years ago and 58 million just last year. It is adding about 370,000 new users a day.

Yes, that’s heading ever closer to the 200 million mark, a truly huge number. No further information was spilled about where those users are coming from and what their level of engagement is (it’s been reported that as much as 55% of users never make a single Tweet and that many of them don’t follow anybody at all). Well, if you want to know, a massive number of them are advertising bots too.
