Twitter's audience has shot up 343 percent since September 2007, making it the fastest growing social network in the U.S., according to the latest report from Neilsen Online.
Just behind the microblogging site, in terms of growth, were Tagged.com, a network launched in 2004 (initially aimed at high schoolers but most popular with the 35-49 age demographic), and Ning, the platform for creating customized social networks.
MySpace still dominates the pack as far as total unique visitors, with around 59.4 million in September, compared to Facebook's 39 million. But MySpace's growth has all but flat lined with only a 1 percent jump since last year, while Facebook users increased 116 percent.
