Will Woods called the OU twittercrack problem yesterday ( Twitters or Twits? ), so maybe it's worth just putting twitter into perspective for a minute...? ;-) Here are the appropriate Alexatrafficrankings (I know, I know, the stats lie because everyone reaches twitter through a client rather than visiting the site itself... just like Second Life lapsed visitors do always convert...
One of the Web’s most popular places to get an idea of a web site’s traffic is Alexa.com. There is one major problem though: Alexa is not accurate at all. Alexa gets a lot of it's traffic data from its’ Alexatoolbar and other nebulous source they don't identify. So that leads me to think that [...]
Is the graph to the left an indication of another social networking site crossing a threshold? The newish site MOLI just hit my radar as I was watching some graphs of recent Mover sites that aren't overnight spikes followed by a return to their former levels.

However this ranking was flawed as it extrapolated information from those readers who had the AlexaToolbar installed on their browsers to track what they read. The people with the toolbar installed tend to be mainly techies and webmasters - most of the general public hasn't...

Google was previously at #4, as a semi-shock, but today’s Alexa shake-up moved Google back to #2 in world-wide trafficrankings.
