Worldwide Twitter Population


I came across some numbers via TechCrunch regarding traffic to Twitter.com. According to comScore, one of the companies that monitor online traffic and usage, there were 19.1 million worldwide visitors to Twitter's website in March 2009. Visitors in this regard does not mean unique users and it may have counted repeat visitors. In February the figure was 9.8 million worldwide.

TechCrunch also noted that this number excludes those who use Twitter from 3rd party applications. Figures obtained from Tweetstats  show that 58% of Twitter users use the web interface while the rest use 3rd party applications or websites. Of note, TweetDeck garnered nearly 10%, Twitterfeed 10% and Tweetie 4.3% (it does not differentiate between Tweetie for Mac and iPhone), Twitterrific, once King of Twitter applications both on Mac and iPhone is nowhere in sight. 

Going by the above numbers, if 19.1 million users makes up only 58% of the traffic, this means there may be more than 30 million Twitter users in the world.
