Twitter continues to grow at break neck speed according to some recent numbers that were revealed in an interview with founder and ex-CEO Evan Williams. Usually the term ex-CEO has an incredibly negative vibe but as we talked about when Williams stepped aside to let Dick Costolo take the lead it was actually a move that was filled with smarts and refreshingly humble. Let’s put it this way, it doesn’t seem like the move has hurt the deal any.

TechCrunch reports

In a New York Times profile on Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, the company revealed a few interesting stats showing the growth trajectory of the network.

And Twitter has added 70 million users since April.

They like to share their opinions online for sure as the article even says:
