    A lot of start-ups might freak out to know traffic was going away, even with the success third parties are seeing, but Twitter is so darn groovy and cool that I know they love seeing this service ecosystem growing. Great insight to what is happening with the tweet "revolution".

    Hi Brian,

    Cool data. Thanks. I was surprised that Hootsuite wasn't higher on the list.

    Warmly,

    Allen

    As was I. I certainly couldn't believe that more people are using tWhirl.

    Look at the framentation across all the Brands. Wow. Interesting marketing & funding models must follow where there are 100s of players sitting at 0.02% of the available market, even if you take out approximately half where the third parties are is coming off the back of a site or app with another purpose (such as a facebook or google) vs stand alone apps.

    This should be a continuing natural migration and trend. Twittering is not slowing but is growing each day. As new client apps are developed and as others gain traction, it only makes sense that people will migrate to preferred tools of choice skewing numbers depending on source and methodology.

    Always curious to know about who's using what for twitter. This extensive data is damn useful

    I was surprised about Hootsuite as well. Great information as always Brian. Although, I had seen data recently that put Twitter at 20-30%.
  • briansolis · 2 months ago
    Thanks Gail. This is in line with other numbers I'm seeing too... :)

    TwitterFon & EchoFon are the same application... TwitterFon changed its name to EchoFon recently

    Thanks for crunching the numbers on this Brian! Like others have said, there were some interesting surprises in there. What effect do you think the -31% (especially if it should continue) might have on Twitter's monetization strategy?

    Also, very nice work on the Conversation Prism! Picked one up for the office!!

    The nice thing about Twitter is how many apps you can use. I ran down your list and I use 9 of the apps on a regular basis.

    Interesting overview. It would be more useful to know how many of the users "multinet" i.e. how many use 2 or more applications for differing reasons...
    They may have a common function with some subtle differences, but, they are as carrots and figs.
    Whatever socio-economic constraints there may be, social networking sites are tools that can be used equally purposefully or casually. A monkey-wrench does not do the same job as a box of spanners.

    Great breakdown of apps! You may want to take a look at TipTop http://FeelTipTop.com, a semantic Twitter-based search engine, now available in a beta version. TipTop widgets for real-time polling, top tweets and peeps, and concept clouds related to a search term are available http://ftt.nu/b5mDz.
