Twitter has stopped growing (maybe) having peaked in July 2009 and not reached those highs again.
That heady summer when it seemed that every news story going had to mention Twitter and ideally Stephen Fry. This was even before he got stuck in a lift and tweeted about it and people went nuts.
Mashable has taken a look at some new numbers from Compete that says Twitter’s US traffic grew by just 1.45% from 22.48 million in November to 22.81 million unique visitors in December.
It quotes figures from Quantcast that tell a similar story. Those numbers say that having peaked at around 29.2 million users in July, Twitter has fallen to 23.6 million US uniques. That is clearly a significant drop (24%).
