Twitter Was The Fastest-Growing Social Network In 2012, Says Study [STATS]
Twitter beat Facebook and Google+ as the fastest-growing social network in 2012, suggests a new study from GlobalWebIndex.
Overall, Twitter is now ranked fourth amongst all social networking sites in total active users, with Google+ securing a surprising second place.
Twitter’s 40 percent jump in active users between Q2 and Q4 of last year placed the micro-blogging platform well ahead of Facebook (+33 percent) and Google+ (+27 percent).
More than one-fifth (21 percent) of the global internet population now actively use Twitter on a monthly basis, good enough for a third-place tie with YouTube, but well behind Facebook (51 percent) and, surprisingly, Google+, which now boasts a 27 percent active user share.
