Dick Costolo, Twitter's Chief Executive is one happy man. In a blog post,
he revealed that the popular social networking site had reached the
magic number - 100 million. Costolo shared with reporters that Twitter
was now home to a whopping 100 million 'active' users. He added that
along with the active user base who essentially log onto their Twitter
accounts daily, an increasing number, almost half of the user base were
using the mobile platform to use their Twitter accounts, too.
Reached the magic number
Stastically, Costolo stated that the popular micro-blogging platform
is now registering as many as 400 million unique visitors each month. As
much as 40 percent of their user base, log in to their accounts to keep
a track of what's going on and not necessarily to tweet. Over the time
of its existence, the platform, owing to its wide reach is also being
used a tool for voicing un-biased opinion by the masses. Costolo further
added in the blog that a part of their bigger plans was the
introduction of additional language compatibilities on Twitter. Earlier
Hindi, Filipino, Malay and Simplied and Traditional Chinese
compatibility were added.

with different professional bends using the platform to further their
services better. These include leaders, athletes, humanitarians,
entertainers and reporters.
