Twitter in the UK just keeps growing and growing according to Hitwise
Some other facts from the report about Twitter in the UK:
and to quote the last paragraph on the key to having a successful Twitter presence
‘…is to engage the community. Twitter is a great viral marketing channel, and for many users the aim is to have their story ‘retweeted’ – i.e. passed on by other users – as many times as possible. Although all of the newspapers have multiple ‘official’ feeds, these tend to be bland and have very low ‘retweet’ rates. Where journalists themselves are ‘tweeting’ themselves and engaging with the Twitter community, they typically have more success in creating viral stories.’

Twitter has definitely seen massive growth within the last few months. I've had twitter for 2 years and just recently I noticed that pretty much everyone has one now, only thing I hate about it is the increase in add request I've gotten from people just trying to sell something. I have at least 3-4 a day which can get annoying.
