Twitter: 46% of users experience Twitter via their mobile device

By on September 3, 2010 at 10:32am in Featured, Mobile News


There are many Twitter apps out there, some 3rd party and some official such as Twitter for iPhone (previously Tweetie) and Twitter for BlackBerry (developed by RIM). Twitter – which now has 145 million registered users – released some numbers when it comes to how people are accessing the service. In the last 30 days 14% use the mobile version of Twitter (m.twitter.com) and SMS at 8%. When it comes to specific devices, the Twitter for iPhone is tops with 8%, followed by Twitter for BlackBerry app is close behind at 7%. A distant 2% is Android.

Twitter stated on their blog that “total mobile users has jumped 62 percent since mid-April, and, remarkably, 16 percent of all new users to Twitter start on mobile now, as opposed to the five percent before… 46 percent of active users make mobile a regular part of their Twitter experience.”

Pretty impressive numbers. You can follow up here at Twitter.com/mobilesyrup

  1. My use of twitter has literally increased by 6000% since getting my new Android.

  2. Yet the number of “unique” users totals 124%. Seems to me that many users are still using their desktop or laptop, and adding a new mobile identity when they acquire a smart phone. This would also explain the higher percentage of “first-time” mobile users – these individuals already have a twitter account, and create a new one for their phone.

  3. I don’t socialize on Twitter and never post, I use it as a reader to follow what developers and companies are planning or doing. I have it on my Blackberries, Android and iPod Touch and I occasionally open it on my laptop or PC, it’s easier to get to than RSS feeds.

  4. I hope HTC fixes HTC Peep soonish, I’m to lazy to download another app and like how it integrates with friendstream.

  5. The fact that iPhone users tweet way more than Android users does not surprise me in the slightest.
