Twitter has launched Twitter for Mac, a desktop application for Apple computers. The company announced in a Blog Post hat the application is debuting in conjunction with the new Mac App Store, which went live on Wednesday.
This app gives Twitter users another fast and convenient way to stay connected. Tweets appear in real-time (using our streaming API), and the app auto-shortens URLs and has lots of useful keyboard shortcuts.
Launched in July 2006, Twitter now has more than 175 million registered users. But most of its growth was achieved over the past two years. According to a recent study from social media analytics company sysomos, 95 percent of Twitter handles have been created since January 2009.
Sysomos also said that Twitter users have gotten more comfortable with sharing personal information since 2009. In the past two years, the number of users that have published a bio on the micro-blogging site has surged from 31 percent to 69 percent.
