Twitter's growth chart continues to look incredible. The messaging/microblogging service attracted 9.3 million U.S. unique visitors to its site in March, up 131% from February, according to ComScore. That's more than 5 million more visitors than the site had in February.

This isn't the perfect way to measure Twitter's user growth, as it includes people who visit Twitter.com but aren't Twitter users. But it also doesn't include mobile-only users, desktop-app users, foreigners, etc. Either way, it seems directionally correct -- and is very impressive.
