Costolo shared with reporters that Twitter was now home to a whopping 100 million ‘active’ users.

Stastically, Costolo stated that the popular micro-blogging platform is now registering as many as 400 million unique visitors each month. As much as 40 percent of their user base, log in to their accounts to keep a track of what’s going on and not necessarily to tweet. Over the time of its existence, the platform, owing to its wide reach is also being used a tool for voicing un-biased opinion by the masses. Costolo further added in the blog that a part of their bigger plans was the introduction of additional language compatibilities on Twitter. Earlier Hindi, Filipino, Malay and Simplied and Traditional Chinese compatibility were added.
