Twitter Looks to Move into Mainstream
Twitter Looks to Move into Mainstream
At its first Chirp conference, the firm reports rapid growth and tries to
reassure developers alarmed by the announcement of new advertising
initiatives.

Reporting from San Francisco
Twitter Inc., the fast-growing social network, said Wednesday that it has
more than 105 million registered users, up more than 1,500% from a year
ago, and is adding 300,000 users every day.
The staggering figures were unveiled by Biz Stone and Evan Williams,
co-founders of the 4-year-old Internet company, at its inaugural
developers conference, dubbed Chirp.
In addition to an explosion of users, Twitter is fielding 600 million
search queries each day and users are sending out 55 million tweets a day,
they said. Tweets are short messages of 140 characters or fewer.
San Francisco-based Twitter has evolved from a crude sketch on a piece of
paper in 2006 to a breakaway pop-culture phenomenon (Ashton Kutcher's race
against CNN for 1 million followers on Twitter) and crucial political
force (unrest in Iran prompted the State Department to ask Twitter to
cancel a planned outage).
"The open exchange of information has a positive impact on the world,"
Williams said.
Now the company is trying to figure out how to catapult Twitter into the
mainstream by making it easier for people to sign up and use it.
