According to its Co-Founder Biz Stone, Twitter has 105,779,710 users well beyond imagination. The question is howmany of them are “active” users.

Considering that Ashton Kutcher has 4,669,976 by himself I would think that that estimate is still off (5 million or 6 million) Because everyone on Twitter could not possibly be choosing to follow him.

You can’t just contact them an ask the reason there has been no official announcement is that Twitter refuse to comment on the number of users as of yet!

Many people have 2 or 3 mobile connections from several providers but each of them claim them as their own active user. Just like this twitter is full of spam users. Some times you’ll see users following you in a pattern (similar user name or screen name).

boy the way I have been reading about it, I would not have blinked if you had estimated 25 million, but now sitting down and reading your post and thinking about it a little I’ll bet 5m is a lot closer.

I believe that its user base will surpass that of digg in coming months…

Twitter is everywhere now. Yay.

Jason Calacanis of Mahalo, in his latest email, offers $500,000 to feature his @questions account among list of the suggested users that is shown after sign up.

He says “Being on this page gets you 5-10k followers per day”. Now, that’s really something. If only, 50% of the ones who register, follow these suggested users, without skipping the step, the actual number of daily new sign ups amount to about 20k-30k!

Take the average to be 25k. Then, in one month, 750,000 new users !

Interesting analysis. It just seems that there are a whole lot of people following a few. Not sure of the utility other than self-promotion.

CAn you think of our local mobile companies???

It can’t be 25 Million but can we call it 5M?? are you undermining it???

Nice interpretation. We may not be sure of the exact figure but we surely know of its popularity so lion’s share of the net savvy peoples are here.

5 millions is not that big enough compared to other social networking site. Twitter has more works to do, :p

Just being nitpicky, but there were only 86 and 56 IDs between your account creations. Let’s say you got #88 and then #91. According to your logic, there would be three accounts created between yours, but really, there are just two — #89 and #90.

Another possibility to consider is that IDs are also assigned to objects other than user accounts.

If you look at the followers of the people who have been put on the suggested list, it appears as if there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of empty twitter accounts.

These are accounts with no URL, no photo, no messages, no followers, and not following anyone other than 20 suggested people.

Nice analysis.

What you can also do is run a quick Google query with some appropriate parameters: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=site%3Atwitter.com+-inurl%3Astatus&btnG=Search

This yields around 19 million results.

Well, the official figure banded around recently was 6 million; so circa 5 million seems a fair number. Which means 0.000106% of the Twittersphere follows me…lol
