Twitter claims 105 million registered users

[...] Twitter claims 105 million registered users Posted: 01:25 PM ET Twitter has more than 105 million registered users, co-founder Biz Stone said Wednesday. [...]

Well, I can tell you that no matter how many sheeple sign up for this useless, social-networking time waster, the list will always be minus one potential user. Maybe I will sign up once I am through watching paint dry.

I think this is ridiculous how many people just sit on the computer! People need to think what we did before the computer was invented. People put way to much info on the computer that shouldn't be there, I say get a life & do something productive like they did years ago. There is too much nonsense said on twitter & facebook. If I need something told I will call them, not put my personal info on the computer for everyone to see. Somethings need to be kept in private!! Can't anyone find something better to do with their life?

[...] When I first heard this announcement, I was more than a little, well, surprised. What possible use could the Library of Congress have for the often inane 140 character statements of 105 million people ? [...]

Also alot of weird things Things are said on twitter & facebook! They won't see me or my info on it. I will find something productive to do besides sitting on a computer. And if this is the only way people are meeting each other then maybe you need to get off the computer and get out of the house! GET A LIFE>>

[...] in the billions, with 50 million added daily. In other Twitter news, the company now claims it has 105 million registered [...]

Yahoo, 105Million users, but can abody figure out how to make money, no! Another fad gone to the crapper as it's not really a business but a hobby, ya look what I did and sold it for billions!

Idiot VC's!!!

Obama, where are the jobs!

"Twitter claims 105 million registered users" And 39 million xbox 360's have been sold. Aren't we proud. Oops. Gotta go to the bathroom. I'll use an iPhone app to tell me which of mine is closer. I'll text you when I'm done.

wait until I cancel my when I get home later...I don't see the meaning of being followed.

Strange that I love Facebook, but care less about Twitter. I guess I don't have the time to deal with both. 1 is a big enough waste of my time!
: )

I use twitter, but not obsessively like some people. It's useful for me.

LOL @ Barb posting on an internet page to get away from computers and get a life. hahaha. Perhaps you should take your own advice?

Twitter is addictive.. I have 6 accounts...

great job Twitter! thanks for creating a whole new generation of people who cannot write more than 140 characters at a time.

I love how posters on this article comment:

I will find something productive to do besides sitting on a computer

I think this is ridiculous how many people just sit on the computer! People need to think what we did before the computer was invented

Wake up, what do you think you are doing by leaving your comment here ?

jb has it right..

laughing out loud at the posters here telling people to get off their computers.. Barb probably plays Farmville too.

I can't join anything that has the word 'twit' in it.

Barb sounds like the type of person that buys Windows Vista to upgrade her 300 mhz computer then cries and whines about it when it doesn't work.

People like her shouldn't even own a computer, they should make you get a computer licence before you attempt to use one, otherwise they might end up in an unfortunate accident revealing their true idocy! lol

Facebook has 400 million ACTIVE users, not just registered users.

Any creep can register multiple accounts on twitter. The site has no real rules and you can pretty much lie about or slander anyone you choose, with no consequences. With the amount of people that multiaccount I'd put the amount of actual "people" using twitter at 1/3 of what they are selling. Twitter sucks and is just a way for celebs to push their products and creeps to cause trouble.

ACTUALLLY, TWITTER IS FUN!! AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BE ON A COMPUTER TO TWITTER, IT CAN BE DONE DIRECTLY FROM A SMART PHONE. GET A SOCIALL LIFE, PLEASE & THANKS YOU:)

Mark S., don't do it! Do not conform to the sheep's way!

JUDY, baaaaa, baaaaa!

i think that this just wierd because they go to this website to chat why don't they just meet somewhere and chat about everything

I like reading these comments from ppl who say "oh, i'll never join that waste of time, I'm much too busy and important." what are you doing commenting on an article ON THE COMPUTER??? You can't believe how these people can sit on a comp. all day, look at what you're doing right now!!!!

ps. OBAMA HAS A VERIFIED ACCOUNT.

obama's account is not run by obama himself. he has people for that, idiot

look to the left of his tweets and it tells you who runs it, judy. It's some organization. why don't you make sure you're right before you look stupid?

YOU GUYS ARE SO SERIOUS. YOU NEED TO CHILLAX. IT'S OKAY. ITS JUST TWITTER. LOVE CNN.

hey judy, stop doing caps, please. just because you're loud doesn't mean you're right

oh and if your obama twitter page thing was to show how stupid he is for having one, then I can tell you that Sarah Palin has one, John McCain has one, Glenn Beck has one, Sean Hannity has one, and several others do.

After reading Doug Gross's article about twitter, I was extremely fascinated to learn the number of people who have joined the online blogging phenomenon. It is truly astonishing that 105,779,710 people have joined the twitter network. At first, twitter was a popular source for tracking celebrity's activities. Now, many people use it as a way of communicating with their peers. To think that 300,000 people are joining the twitter community every day is also mind boggling. Many of these users are from other parts of the world. I found this article fascinating because it connected to our Journalism class on so many levels. Technology is rapidly changing from print to internet. People are using sources such as facebook, twitter, and myspace in order to communicate with peers and feel closer connections to celebrity figures.

thank you, cadelson. I actually used twitter to get updates from my art history class

I don't see the usefulness of twitter. everyone seems to think their life and simple daily actions are of interest to others. The person sending the twit must have and over blown ego and the person wasting the time reading it must have a zero life of their own.

I'm a member on there, but I don't really enjoy the site that much (that is just my opinion). You have a limit to how much you can type and it just seems useless to me.

First,
For all of those people that post about the "good ol' days" when you went out and did something, what the heck do you think this is? Instead of farming that corn, these type of things (Facebook and Twitter) actually report real time news. Do you think that the news in Iraq and Iran could be reported by your local newspaper in a real time? Why don't you join the real world and realize that people trying to change the world are trying to in real time. Your "traditional" ways are gone and you can realize it or pass away thinking how great the good ol' days were.

Second, (and this is laughable), do you realize that phones are now used for multi-media or are you oblivious to the fact that these things exist? That means somebody like myself (who is tri-lingual (Thai, German and English), in shape because I workout and much better off socially than you) who is outdoors all the time and does not sit in front of a computer all days actually exists?

Finally, it doesn't matter to you, does it? You are still going to think your ways are right and these "crazy kids" are insane for what they are doing. Guess what!? Start to grow with the technology or get fired from your jobs because you are so dead set on keeping the 'traditions' alive.

I don't want redneck pieces of s**t on Twitter. For those of us that actually use it for legitimate purposes, I could care less for dumb-asses that have absolutely no education to join.

Here is the demographic for those responses above that don't line Twitter:

Age: 25-40
Race: White
Gender: Male or Female
Ignorance: High!
Stupidity: Extremely High!
IQ: Lowest possible, probably called retard

twitter is a guy who likes to play hide the hot dog.

Yes but they have already admitted that 40-50% of there ACCOUNTS are Activated but NEVER USED! So people making accounts, trying it out and then ditching it without cancelling.

Twitter will make money from advertising. I use it to advertise my products and services now to my followers.

Twitter is another extension of reality TV where everyone actually thinks their own mundane and dull lives are potentially exciting to others...98% of all tweets are nothing more than short rants and trivial statements.

If you have the time and inclination, so be it, otherwise more hype than anything else.

Twitter should change the word "users" to "accounts". I, for example, am one person who has at least 20 twitter accounts. I'm registering one for each domain name that I own. When I'm done, I'll have 150+ twitter accounts. Domain buyers are squatting on twitter accounts too...

[...] Million Reasons for Twitter to have Ads Twitter released that it has 105 Million registered users yesterday, and that it adds 300,000 new users every single day. These numbers are staggering [...]

they are also counting inactive accts and disabled accts.

Dumb and dumber! Adults actually can hold a conversation and don't need to hide behind the "robust" technology of 140 characters, most of which is incoherent nonsense for narcissists.

I'm just jealous that I didn't patent and package RSS feeds into a billion dollar idea.

So 1/3 of the population has no self esteem? WOW! Wonder how many Tea Baggers are Twits also.

that is a lot of users – i wonder how many of them Tweet often

That is BS reason being half the people who join are spammers.

Sorry, but most of twitters users are inactive, or controlled soley by a company using it for marketing purposes, or monitoring other marketing efforts. Twitter is probably more like 30 million. It will never ever hold a candle to facebook.

You think sovial networking is bad now?
I was born a few years before social networking was started.
Imagine when the next generation grow up ON social networking.
It will become MASSIVE.
@ cadelson.
Although i respect your comment, nobody uses Myspace anymore.

Customer Reviews:

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my cousin were just preparing to do a little research on this. We grabbed a book from our area library but I think I learned better from this post. I'm very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there...

The subject of Brilliant Canon Cameras has continually been an out of the ordinary subject and I am of the opinion Powershot Cameras deserves much more argument. We never can necessarily comprehend why Digital Cameras is not on lots more people's minds because I genuinely consider that Brilliant Canon Cameras ought to be.

Digital Cameras has unquestionably been directly revealed in a number of magazines furthermore certainly there have even been films finished regarding Canon Powershot Cameras .

I would love to know what every person believes as regards to Canon Powershot Cameras so is why I broached the business of Powershot Cameras in the first place.
