"Maybe Twitter doesn\u2019t have a growth problem after all.  According to new stats out today from Royal Pingdom, Twitter saw an all-time high of more than 1.2 billion tweets in January.  Perhaps this is what CEO Evan Williams meant last month when he said that the site was hitting records \u201Cacross all the metrics that matter.\u201D\nDiving a bit deeper into the numbers, Royal Pingdom reports that tweet volume grew by 16x from January \u201909 to January \u201910.  Over the past three months, tweet volume has grown steadily at around 17 percent.  In other words, if tweet volume is the metric that matters, Twitter is still growing at a very healthy clip.\nQuestions about Twitter\u2019s growth have stemmed from other publicly available analytics data that shows the site is seeing a flat-to-down number of unique visitors hit its website each month.  That data though, as has often been pointed out, doesn\u2019t take into account those that use Twitter through third-party apps, both on the desktop and via mobile devices. \nStill, that\u2019s not to say that Twitter is adding users as fast as it once was.  It could just be that the average Twitter user is tweeting more (Royal Pingdom doesn\u2019t offer data on this), not to mention the ever-growing number of automated bots that tweet.  In any event, here's what the tweet growth looks like:\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
