by WeCanDoBIZ January 21, 2009 12:22 AM PST: I have seen conflicting reports on this. In the end, it may not matter anyway as around 80% of Twitter users make use of third party applications -- be they desktop, mobile, or other websites -- to use Twitter anyway. So any tracking tool going only on website visits is going to be under-reading "popularity" by five times.
