UK Twitter traffic trebles in a month

Twitter's popularity in the UK has exploded since January, after a number of high-profile celebrity Twitterers including @stephenfry, @wossy and @schofe started using it, and talking about it. As a result, the site's traffic has trebled since ths start of the year, according to Hitwise Intelligence.

All that traffic has catapulted Twitter into the top 100 UK sites, where it now sits at #91, above Expedia, Gumtree and Easyjet. It's also ranking seventh within the "Social Networking and Forums" category. Of course, this still underrates Twitter's popularity, because many people don't use the website to interact with the site. Real numbers would be even higher.
