This morning, San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom, used Twitter to announce he will be officially running for Governor of California.
This is following on the heels of last week, which was host to a few buzz-worthy events for Twitter. The site may double its monthly traffic after the Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN race to 1 million followers, and Oprah's showcase of the site on her show.
According to Compete, Twitter's pageviews rose from 367 million to more than 420 million for the week. The number of unique visitors rose to over 10 million. And TechCrunch found that over a million users users signed up for Twitter following Oprah's show.
With the site getting more popular, the possibilities for a real-time search engine are being fulfilled. In addition to Twitter Search, be sure to check out Twendz and TweetGrid.
