Comparing Facebook influence to Twitter's: #FBRATE


In a previous post I did the math on Facebook Share, Facebook Like and Twitter ReTweets, and their ratio

I then did the math on probable Facebook users (which I found to be at half of what Facebook claims itself), and Twitter users, before calculating their relative ratio.
Update 12th October 2010 12:37 CET: I found out that Compete.com only uses US data, not worldwide. It's in the small print whereas I'd think that should be in big red ink all over their site.
I apologise for this, it means that unique visitor stats below only apply to the US
Going by stats from Computerworld and Mashable there should now be around 20 million active Twitter users

As you may or may not know, I'm a stats lover, a number cruncher, and I like to cross-examine pretty much everything
