Twitter & The Coolest Tweet Ever, Courtesy Of NASA Astronaut

Mike Massimino recently twittered;

I’m going to put my spacesuit on, next stop: Earth Orbit!!

He’s a NASA astronaut! Now surely that Tweet at least is a bit more interesting than some of the more moronic pointless chats I’ve seen on Twitter in my time. Perhaps it is appropriate that just about two hours ago we saw the first tweet from outer space if, of course, we’re to believe Mike Massimino is not in a studio somewhere in the Nevada desert ( ha! – check out this recent post at Techcrunch)

From orbit: Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!

And the chart above is not his recent trajectory.

This is Twitter’s phenomenal visitor growth chart and it’s really taking off. What you see in the chart above is U.S. numbers for April, 2009  and it shows Twitter reaching 17 million unique visitors in the U.S. during the month, which is an 83 percent increase from March when Twitter captured 9.3 million US visitors. Techcrunch has more.

Twitter’s a great networking tool, and most of your customers, especially in B2B are probably already using it. Maybe you should too.
