Twitter revealed there are 10 million active users tweeting regularly in the United Kingdom. This makes it the fourth largest tweeting nation -- with about one in six Brits signed on to the social network.
About 80% of U.K. tweeters view Twitter on their mobile devices, more than in any other country. The global average of mobile Twitter users is about 55%.
The official @TwitterUK sent this tweet out on Tuesday:
Snapshot of Twitter in the UK: 10m active users, 80% of which are also active on mobile. And an office that's been open almost a year!— Twitter UK (@TwitterUK) May 15, 2012
The official Twitter count worldwide is 140 million users, who churn out 340 million tweets per day. The year-to-year growth of the microblogging social network, created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, is staggering. The top countries on Twitter are the United States, Japan and Brazil.
Twitter opened its first European office in May 2011.
The 1-year-old London office is reportedly still seeking talent. Twitter is also set to open offices in Dublin, according to The Guardian, as part of its global expansion of offices.
