The Rise of Blogging and The Greater Rise of Social Media
It was announced earlier this month by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams that Twitter now produce approximately 90 million tweets per day, 25% of which contain links to other content. The complementary announcement that Twitter can bow boast over 145 million users also demonstrates the dramatic growth in member levels over the past few months.
