Twitter Popularity

Do you Twitter? If you’re reading this blog, you probably know all about Twitter. Even though I registered a Twitter account some time ago, I’ve more recently become an active user. I’m enjoying the benefits of keeping up with the happenings of key people, both professionally and personally, but I’m also having difficulty getting other friends to join and use the service. Despite my own personal experiences, Twitter appears to be growing the user base quickly. As reported on over at the Twitter Facts blog, the data shows just that, Twitter.com is rapidly approaching 1 million users.

So far my twittering is limited only to the indivudals in my social circle that are as heavily involved in interactive and the web as I am. I just haven’t found the sweet spot yet where Twitter is reaching the general masses (the ones not online the majority of their waking hours) among my social circle.

Question of the day: Who among your social circle uses Twitter? Professional contacts? Friends? Family?
