Twitter more popular than Google

Advertising

A new study says that all of the mentions that microblogging service Twitter got from the media, like TV, newspapers, radio, or the Internet, in the past month is worth $48 million! News-monitoring service VMS estimates there have been 2.73 billion impressions in the past 30 days, with TV responsible for 57 percent of the value, newspapers 37 percent and magazines 5 percent. "This is huge. It's very, very high," Gary Getto of VMS told Advertising Age. "In fact, we looked at online coverage of Twitter vs. Google. Twitter is running significantly higher than Google and I didn't think anything was more popular than Google."



This is only in the last month though, and Google is definitely more well-known and popular in terms of usage than Twitter. It's just that there has been a Twitter craze in the past few months with all the celebrity Twitter followers. But not all celebrity profiles on Twitter are real; most are just Twitter spam. Popular actress Megan Fox (showing her Marilyn Monroe tattoo on the right arm) said in the news recently, "I don't have a Twitter...neither does Shia, and I don't know anyone who Twitters!"

So all the Megan Fox pages on Twitter are fakes. The Transformers star is certainly more popular on Google!
