Twitter has 500m registered users

"Twitter has just passed the 500 million user mark, as predicted back in January, just shy of its sixth birthday. It has achieved amazing growth over the last year or so as it has become an indispensable feature of the media and entertainment landscape around the world.
There have been a lot of Twitter landmarks along the way stretching back to the 2008 presidential election through to the Arab Spring and the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Twopcharts reported the 500 million figure a few minutes ago and now predicts it will hit 600 million users in around 108 days."
