Comparative Estimates: US Unique Visitors to Twitter, September & October 2009 (millions and % change) (via Data on Twitter Decline Stacks Up - eMarketer)

Rafer sez:Wow, am I sick of this. Just to make sure — you do know judging Twitter by web visitor traffic is the robust logical equivalent of using a car odometer to measure how far the Space Shuttle travels? That’d be about 5 miles, from one end of the Kennedy Space Center to the other.
None of compete, comscore or nielsen can count API calls, nor do they even try. I believe Majestic has the infrastructure to do so, though I doubt they are for Twitter right now.

How many months go by where you don’t visit twitter.com?
The API access miss-count can’t be that high for monthly uniques, right?
