&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment on July 8, 2008:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;While the trends for Twitter are moving in the right direction, &lt;a href=&quot;http://siteanalytics.compete.com/twitter.com/?metric=uv&quot;&gt;according to Compete.com&lt;/a&gt; (this prediction&#039;s chosen source for judgment), Twitter closed for the month of June with 1,819,237 visitors - just a bit shy of the 2 million mark.  In a rare instance, the community was wrong on this one.  -- The Industry Standard.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Prediction: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u98/Picture_9_1.png&quot; alt=&quot;Twitter&quot; title=&quot;Compete&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;66&quot; width=&quot;225&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.compete.com&quot; title=&quot;Compete&quot;&gt;Compete&lt;/a&gt; has seen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com&quot; title=&quot;Twitter&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; traffic nearly double from February to April, currently attracting nearly 1.2 million people per month. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is &lt;a href=&quot;http://siteanalytics.compete.com/twitter.com/?metric=uv&quot; title=&quot;Twitter&#039;s growth&quot;&gt;currently growing&lt;/a&gt; at a rate of 30.5% per month.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prediction that Compete&#039;s People Count for twitter.com will register 2 million or more U.S. visitors by July 2008. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bets will close on 30 June 2008. The June 2008 data will be used as the source for judgement as it is made available at compete.com.&lt;/p&gt;
