Twitter hits 10 million active users in the UK, Brits the biggest mobile users

Twitter has confirmed that  there are now 10 million active users tweeting regularly in the United Kingdom – a hefty figure that makes us Brits the fourth largest tweeting nation on the planet.

According to their stats,  around one in six UK citizens are now signed up to the social network, with about 80% of Tweetin’ Brits viewing the service on their mobile devices.

That figure turns out to be way ahead of  other countries, with the global  average of mobile Twitter users just 55%.

Here’s how the official @TwitterUK account broke the news yesterday:
