Last month I heard  on CNN that Twitters new member signups had dropped off its pace and was leveling out.  Yet after seeing this report from Pingdom, maybe Twitter doesn’t have a growth problem after all. According to Pingdom, Twitter saw an all-time high of more than 1.2 billion tweets in January. Twiter CEO Evan Williams also said last month that the site was hitting records “across all the metrics that matter.”

The reports show that tweet volume grew by 16 times from January 2009 to January 2010. Within the past three months, tweet volume has grown at around 17 percent. Which would leave one to conclude that maybe people are going deeper into the conversation and engagement process with connections.

While many people question the validity of using Twitter for Business, the data lends to the fact that companies should pay more attention to this space.
