Hi Heather, Very useful post. I think that most visitors check Twitter for social purposes and not so much for news updates, but still, this is very useful. Thanks

if you’re a brand, you simply cannot afford to sit on the sidelines any longer. This is the reality: People are going to talk about you regard-less of whether you’re in the room. So you might as well get with the pro-gram, start by listening, and start understanding what people are saying about you, your industry, your products and your competitors.”
That spot-on summary in a nutshell comes courtesy of Maria Ogneva, director of social media for Biz360, the social media monitoring provider acquired by Attensity last month.

I don’t think Twitter its relavant at all lots of people use Twitter for social networking but they never use Twitter.com for sharing news.

these stats considering that URL enshort systems are used? bit.ly, ow.ly, tinyurl, etc…
the twitter referers are very complicated to track, all the power users use suites and 3rd part apps, all with URL short commodities.

Facebook for news?

I came across a few very interesting statistics today, from mediapost.com, which show that Facebook directs more traffic to news sites than Google Reader and Google News. More importantly for news websites, 78% people linked to a news site from Faceboo…

This stat isn’t relevant at all. People who use Twitter a lot don’t use Twitter.com. They use 3rd party apps on their computer or phone.

Curious to know whether your figure for twitter to news sites includes traffic from third party clients like tweetdeck. Thanks.

What type of multiplier are you using for Twitter traffic? If 80% of Twitter users are mobile, and accessing the stream through a non-web based app, what does that do to your numbers?

I believe that the popularity of third-party Twitter applications renders this data completely pointless.
You should make note of the fact that tweets “via web” (using the Twitter website) account for only a small minority of all posts. If I were to guess, I’d say that the real Twitter generated traffic volume is probably five times what you have mentioned.

Hi Heather,
Given that most links posted to Twitter are run through URL shortening services like bit.ly, it would be interesting to see what the traffic from that to these websites is like.

Hi Heather,
Thanks for posting this data. For comparative purposes are you able to post/provide any downstream Twitter data to news websites in the UK (or outside North America)? It would be interesting to see what geo specific domains creep into the top 10 outside of North America.
Regards,
Tom
