You need to account for the 3rd party apps used to access Twitter, which dominate Twitter useage. See http://bit.ly/8O7RlG for a detailed analysis.

Mark: I was really willing to believe you on that but then I took a look at your actual graphs. You are comparing apples and oranges. In Google Analytics you show the monthly graph while in Google Trends the daily one. No wonder the peaks look differently. The overall up and downs are recognizable in both. I may compare the SEOptimise stats to find out the accuracy later this week. neuhold: Yeah, great explanations, you’re right.
