This is really great news for all of those with Twitter apps, twitter related sites, and an interest in social media!

I think it proves that social is the way to be- and I find it a bit funny how about a year ago there were so many articles stating social media was more of 'woman' thing because we all liked to talk more, ha... perhaps were the women rule... well... the rest will follow.

Either way, Twitter is a fantastically valuable service and I am thrilled to see it succeeding the way it has.
