As Facebook Nears 100M U.S. Visitors, Twitter Falls Further Behind In The Rear-View Mirror

Although Facebook recently admitted that Twitter was in its rear-view mirror, it appears that Twitter may be moving out of eyeshot. September's U.S. comScore data has just been released and it appears that the gap between Facebook and Twitter is widening. Facebook grew by over 3 million unique visitors during the month of September, from 92.2 million unique visitors in August to 95.5 unique visitors in September. Twitter, on the other hand, is completely flatlining, barely growing over the past month. In August, Twitter received 20.8 million unique visits in the U.S. compared to 20.9 million unique visits in September.

As Facebook nears 100 million unique visits in the U.S., the gap between the social network and Twitter is widening. In April, the gap was around 50 million unique visitors, with Twitter pulling on 17 million unique visitors and Facebook drawing in 67 million unique visitors. Now, the gap has grown to nearly 75 million unique visitors between to the two sites in the U.S.
