Metaphorically speaking, someone apparently has lit a match (in San Francisco) in a dry forest with lots of leaves and brush with the right temperature and wind level and there is no water in sight.
A fire, you ask? In San Francisco?
Oh Yes. A fire. A huge, consuming everything in its sight fire (except for the moist logs that just smolder)…
Ok, let me get to the point. This is a Twitter fire. Twire? This fire has actually been growing for the last 12 months and has grown by 1382%. Or if you are more of a “show me the proof” kind of person, it looks like this:
February, 2008 -> February, 2009
475,000 users -> 7,038,000 users.
And the population group this wild fire is consuming the fastest? 35-49 years of age. Social media is not just for kids anymore…but since you are on GovLoop you probably already knew that!
Thank you Nielson Wire for your figures!
Wow! Appreciate the info….I’m a little surprised!
West coast rawks!
