Twitter losing out to Facebook in the US

Twitter is losing ground to Facebook in the US, as the social network nears 100 million unique monthly users, according to new figures.

Facebook grew by over three million unique visitors during September, according to the comScore’s US monthly data. It went from 92.2 million unique visitors in August to 95.5 million uniques in September.

However, Twitter, which has been heralded for the swift growth in its userbase around the world, stayed virtually flat. The microblogging service received 20.9 million unique US visitors in September, compared to 20.8 million the previous month.
