Twitter has been the fastest growing major website in the UK over the last 12 months

According to Hitwise, UK Internet traffic to Twitter, the “micro-blogging” service and social network, has increased 22-fold over the last 12 months.
During May 2009 www.twitter.com ranked as the 38th most visited website in the UK and the fifth most visited social network. Just one year ago, in May 2008, it was the 969th most visited website and 84th most visited social network.
 
According to Joel Comm in his book Twitter Power, the largest age demographic is now 35 to 44 years old.
14 percent of Twitter's visitors are "Stable Career" types.
Another 12 percent are "Young Csmopolitans"- 40-somethings with household incomes of over $250,000 per year.
 
This information is of importamt interest to marketers of professional services and consulting firms. Twitter seems to provide access to high quality network of professionals and decision makers and it is not an option to utilize this outstanding opportunity.
