Twitter has revealed a few stats that might just interest e-commerce or on-line businesses.

* Firstly, Twitter gets 19 billion searches per month. That figure appears to put Twitter in second place, just behind Google and ahead of Yahoo and Bing. What seems to be the case is that people are increasingly using Twitter and Twitter apps to find information. Added to this, Twitter’s new “Promoted Ads” will also show up on Twitter searches.

* Twitter now has more than 105 million users, with about 300,000 new people joining each day.

* Twitter is becoming more and more “useable” thanks to its many apps. There are lots of apps that can shape Twitter around a person’s specific needs. And this is also applicable to business accounts.

* The number of Twitter app directories just keeps on growing. These offer an amazing resource for finding companies and potential clients, and in a wealth of different categories.
