    Facebook’s additional 2 million unique visits last month, has certainly made Twitter’s statistic look grimmer.

    Despite all the buzz surrounding its upcoming new features, for the months of July, August and September, Twitter’s unique visit growth rate has been below par.

    Every website will experience a period of flat growth. From the graph, we can see a similar sticky period from Sept 08 to Nov 08, which was followed by robust growth until the recent 3 months when growth rate dipped again.

    I chose to see this as a pattern. It is similar to how stock prices rise and fall, there will always be a series of dips and peaks but overall positive growth is likely in the long run.

    It probably took something extraordinary to break away from the previous stagnation. Would Twitter’s new $100 million funding help this time?
