Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dick Costolo said that 500 million people come to the microblogging service each month without logging in, mounting a defense of the company’s reach amid slowing user growth.
The CEO said today at Twitter’s first analyst day that the service is accessible to more than its regular user base, with the 500 million people coming to the site each month to check out profiles or individual tweets. About 125 million people also go to Twitter’s home page each month and decide not to sign up, presenting an opportunity to create features to add users, the company said.
