Twitter Has More Daily Visitors Than McDonalds Worldwide & 7 Other Epic Twitter Statistics

Twitter is an indispensable tool for Marketers and Businesses looking to find qualified leads, and the stats below illustrate the incredible penetration this little blue bird reached! Here are 8 epic Twitter statistics that will change how you view, use, or think about Twitter.

1.

500M tweets everyday! #jawdropping So what does this mean for marketers? To me, this means our Twitter content needs to be focused & super targeted. Like if you agree! I can guarantee you that general tweets without focus and value WILL GET lost in the 500M tweets. Even 10 seconds tweeting such tweet is 10 seconds wasted. Don’t want to get lost in the 500M tweets? Make sure you’ve crafted your Target Demography’s persona, have a well defined strategy, and use kick-ass tools to filter out noise (hint: like Keyhole! :D) to help you navigate this massive online forum.

This is 9x the amount of Facebook status updates per day.

400 Million is a big number. To put that in perspective, Tokyo, the biggest city in the world has 37.6 M residents, so 40 mil is more than 10 times the population of Tokyo. New York, one of the biggest cities in USA had 8.4 million people in 2013 and 8.2M in 2010, so even after taking population growth into account, Twittersphere will have 40 times the number of New York population by 2018. Now, tell me that’s not good enough reason for any business to be on Twitter.

Youtube has 11 different lists ranging from Sports to DIY. #Youtube #TwitterMarketing #HashtagTracker A photo posted by Keyhole.Co (@keyhole.co) on Sep 23, 2015 at 2:59pm PDT
