This is crazy. But, I bet that 3 million of those users are trying to figure out what Twitter is all about. Also, I discussed this with colleagues and they say the the Obama campain has lots to do with this, and most of the twitter activity around Obama is pretty much dead now that he’s elected.
Oh, and by the way, I have colleagues now. Since Monday, I’m with the fabulous team here at Provokat, working on a nice project I’ll talk to you about soon. :)
