But comparing Twitter vs. Mxit? I don't think so, Mxit is a global phenomena and the stats shows it, but they're two totally different platforms. Incomparable. Fact is this post was just to give a bit of clarity on Twitter in SA, not too compare it to other sites specifically. Something that I don't think can be done in any event :) But, thanks for your comments - Mxit have invested well in you. @Sandra – yep those stats speak for themselves.

People always ask me 'What the point?' 'How do you benefit?'. This is difficult to answer - I always say: Just use it and you'll see after a while!
