It appears that sometime in the next few hours microblogging site Twitter will log its 1 millionth user account, at least according to a service called Twitter Grader.
As of 6:24 p.m. Eastern time, Twitter has 996,816 user accounts.
You can see the total by going to
http://twitter.grader.com and typing in the name of any account. You'll get that account's grade (on a scale going up to 100), plus where it ranks numerically relative to all other accounts. If you want to use ours, the account is "datamationblog". We won't tell you our grade because, well, the whole thing's a
bit silly, though harmless fun. Plus we don't like to brag.
Twitter, of course, has been in the news since yesterday when the site played a role in the
coverage of the emergency plane landing in New York's Hudson River.
Sure, it pales in comparison to the 150 million-plus users on Facebook, but that site's a graybeard compared to Twitter.
