Heather Hopkins, an analyst with HitWise, has an interesting blog posting looking at the Web sites that people visit from Twitter.com.
Her research shows that a lot of Twitter’s downstream traffic goes to social networks and entertainment sites, and that there’s a lot of content being shared on Twitter.
If you look at the chart, it is interesting to see that many people check their online e-mail (Yahoo Mail, GMail, Windows Live Mail) after visiting Twitter.com. I wonder if most of this traffic is people going back and forth between their two primarily means of getting messages from other people.

Etsy is high on the list. I wonder if it will continue to do well.
Thanks,

Thanks for posting – interesting stuff. Looks like a good example of the Long Tail.
But we cannot make any conclusions out of it. It can even be a random pattern. Because I check my mails before Twitter or sometimes do the opposite way.
