Reaching 200 Million Accounts: Twitters Explosive Growth [INFOGRAPHIC]

The 200 millionth Tweep signed up for a Twitter account, and to commemorate the occasion we bring you this infographic tracing the history of the platform that led up to that mind-boggling number.

If that 200 millionth Twitterer figure impresses you, get a load of the biggest number on this infographic: 350 billion tweets delivered each day.

Even though Twitter started out with users feeling cramped within its 140-character confines and talking about what they had for breakfast, today it’s turned into an explosive dynamo that instantly brings you news from all over the world. In fact, some have even blamed/credited it with overthrowing governments.

The service has enjoyed spectacular growth over the past five years — its official fifth birthday was in March, but it first became available to the general public in July, 2006.

And now that Jerry Seinfeld has jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, it reminds us that the little tweeting platform that was once about nothing, well, now it’s about something. Something big. One thing’s for sure: It’s changed the world.

Experienced in both B2B & B2C, my approach in developing marketing strategies has always been focused on providing the best possible experience for the end-user. I firmly believe that in order to build a strong brand you need to commit to people, first and foremost.

I believe marketing should be purpose-driven, and that marketing is at its most powerful when it delivers true value and real utility.
