Twitter Surpasses Digg: Almost 1000% Growth in One Year

The rise and rise of Twitter traffic in the UK
Twitter, the mobile phone-based micro-blogging service, rocketed nearly 1000% in use in the UK over the past year according to industry analysts HitWise.
For the first time, the site has seen more visits than "social bookmarking" site Digg, which allows users to share links to sites.
Twitter made headlines earlier in January, providing the first pictures of downed US Airways flight 1549.
The site may continue its meteoric rise as the new US President is a devotee.
The Twitter site has jumped from 2,953rd most popular in the UK in 2008 to 291st as of mid-January.
