How many users on Twitter?
Twitter has been pretty strict in making sure that the public is not aware of how many users they have and this is probably for good reason. I really think the amount of hype that Twitter has had is not justified. So then, the question I set out to answer is quite simple and that question is, how many twitter accounts are there?
So from that point there is another question that must be asked and that is, who would know the information I’m looking for, other than Twitter?
So first I google’d around a little and I found this article on TechCrunch which had some excellent information on the subject. Information about how user ID numbers on Twitter do not reflect the number of users that are on Twitter.

Facebook and MySpace what lies beneath the profile
I think most of us dabble with Myspace.com or Facebook.com to satisfy our social needs of communication.
I watched some presentations on the inner workings of Facebook.com and Myspace.com that are hosted on a cool site called infoq.com.

# Facebook’s 25 Random Things
If you’ve visited Facebook in the last month, you’ve probably seen one of your friends lists of “25 things about me.” If you are not familiar with this latest social trend it has become quite popular to write a note on Facebook that include 25 different things about you and then tag 25 of your friends with the requirement that they fill one out themselves. It is, as Tom says in our latest podcast (which should be up on Sunday), Facebook’s version of the chain-forwarding e-mail. After being tagged in a number of these notes, I had an idea. I posted the following note:
