According to a recent post at EWeek, Twitter has not reached the elite status of other social networking sites. It has, however, doubled the amount of visits it receives over the past three months. Out of all the social networking sites, it ranked 439, and 4,309 out of all sites overall. Some figures that could alter these statistics are the many different access points other than just the typical computer.

Here at HitWise, Heather Hopkins notes that the majority of Twitter’s users return over and over again, giving the site a very loyal fan base. But ever over the past few months, with Twitter being in the news, such as breaking news about an earthquake in the UK, and freeing a UC Berkley student from an Egyptian jail, this very niche site is receiving lots of air time, and will continue to grow at such fast speed.
