Internet traffic tracker Hitwise has reported a readership boom kicking off for mini-blog portal Twitter, with the number of visits to the "citizen journalism" gonzo reportage site topping that of Digg for the first time.
The graph generated by Hitwise - stolen by us and shown to the left there - tells the story of Twitter's unstoppable rise, with recent high-profile Twitter events pushing user numbers to new highs.
Even Twitter itself is happy with how it's all going, with President Obama's multimedia inauguration causing a further spike in Twitter use. It is unstoppable, so you might as well surrender and sign up a username now, before all possible word/number combinations are nabbed.

I have see a couple of graphs by hitwise and I have always wondered who writes their articles. Some of the explanations and arguments are preposterous.
And tell me how many articles like that have you read in FB? The answer is none. That's why I prefer Twitter.
