Twitter Queries Up 33% In Three Months
SocialBeat, Wednesday, July 7, 2010 2:15 PM
Twitter is now supporting 800 million queries a day, company co-founder Biz Stone told attendees of the Aspen Ideas Festival this week. That's 33% more queries than it said it was handling back in mid-April, notes SocialBeat. "That means the company, which is trying to brand itself as an 'information network' rather than a social network, is handling 24 billion queries a month," writes the blog. In April, at Twitter's inaugural Chirp developer conference, the microblogging service said it was supporting 600 million queries a day.
"It's hard to compare Twitter's monthly query volume to that of Microsoft's Bing or Yahoo, since worldwide figures for their traffic are fairly old," writes SocialBeat. "Comscore reported that Bing was supporting 4.1 billion monthly queries worldwide while Yahoo was handling 9.4 billion in December." Daily volume, meanwhile, is said to vary widely. At times, Twitter was handling up to 750 million queries per day back in April, its then director of search Doug Cook told SearchEngineLand's Danny Sullivan.
