Twitter Growing Twice As Fast As Facebook

Facebook continues to be growing at the rate of around 5 million users a week according to the latest numbers but Twitter, the latest Silicon Valley darling, is posting some impressive growth figures of its own. The most recent data provided by Google Trends shows that Twitter has reached a search volume in just over a year and a quarter, that it took Facebook 2 and a half years to accomplish.

This should be concerning for Facebook who has been taking steps to duplicate much of the functionality provided by the rapidly growing micro-blogging service.
