The number of people who have registered accounts on Twitter has now reached 200 million, according to ReadWriteWeb.
Katie Stanton, Twitter's VP of International Strategy, said at the Guardian Activate conference in New York that there are now more than 200 million Twitter accounts worldwide and more than 70% of all Twitter's traffic comes from outside the U.S.
Twitter said last month that it was adding just under a half million new accounts per day and its business-facing page says there are 175 million registered users.
The Huffington Post's Bianca Bosker wrote first about public statement of 200 million registered users last night.
ReadWriteWeb requested comment from Twitter PR, which said that this was not the first time these numbers have been discussed publicly and that neither number is in fact new.
