Twitters Biggest Day Yet

ev twitter account

Twitter has been flat lining over the past couple of months. The service has gathered a huge community, but sign-up rates have stalled as of late. However, Twitter founder Evan Williams just tweeted that the 11th of January was Twitters biggest EVER day. For some reason, the tweeting community all increased their tweeting habits at the same time.

This is encouraging as nothing particularly news worthy happened. Twitter has been known to receive big spikes when something huge is happening such as the death of Michael Jackson or major sporting tournaments. But nope, nothing out of the ordinary yesterday.

What’s even stranger is that Evans also mentioned in his tweet that today, would be even bigger. Wonder if the tweeters up top have something huge planned. Or maybe they just have an office betting pool up and running.

      The Haiti earthquake is “no news?”

      Sadly, not really for Twitter users. I mean, it’s definitely biog news. But not something that would have a huge impact on Social networks such as a pop star dying or a worldwide event or a terrorist attack.

      Sad but true.
