I am slowly (*cough* ok quickly) getting addicted to Twitter. And based on the 2009 twitter statistics…you are too. I have been able to connect with so many individuals via Twitter and I am extremely grateful for their presence in my Internet life. Here are the top 3 individuals who have added value into my life and whom I think you should follow:
- @MariSmith ~ Social Media expert and has the most fun Canadian accent. I got the opportunity to meet Mari in Los Angeles. She is a wealth of knowledge.
- @RobMcNealy ~ He has more than 130,000 followers yet finds the time to interact and answer my questions. He did a phone interview with me a while back and we had a great conversation for about 45 minutes.
- @MelissaGalt~ I said this in my article on Friday and I will say it again. Since the day I have met her she has been relentless in adding value to my life.
By following these individuals you will add value into your life and learn how to increase your Internet presence. If you really want to increase you presence online a great place to start is with Twitter. Here are some Twitter statistics that prove why:

So there are the Twitter statistics for 2009. Twitter really is a powerhouse for your business and blog. By leveraging, and interacting with all of the millions of individuals on Twitter you can transform your business…over time. Remember that social media is about relationships…not selling. If you try to sell you will not sell products. If you build relationships you will sell products.
Happy Tweeting!
