Here we are at the tail end of 2012 and that number has more than doubled, a statistic that should finally put to rest any talk that this whole thing is just a fad.<br /> <br /> "There are now more than 200M monthly active @twitter users. You are the pulse of the planet. We&#39;re grateful for your ongoing support!," Twitter posted on its microblogging service.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item23741/Twitter.jpg" alt="Twitter headquarters" /><br /> <em><span style="font-size: 11px;">Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, CA.</span></em> </div> <br /> More than just a social service for letting friends, family, and other followers know what you had for lunch, Twitter proved itself a reliable asset during emergency situations when it stayed up through Hurricane Sandy. People sent more than <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/Twitter-Stays-Up-Through-Hurricane-Sandy-with-Over-20-Million-Storm-Related-Tweets/">20 million tweets</a> about the storm between October 27 and November 1, providing an alternative means to send and receive valuable information when power and cable/DSL Internet services were down.<br /> <br /> More recently, Twitter made headlines for going toe-to-toe with Facebook&#39;s Instagram service by <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/Twitter-Goes-ToeToToe-With-Instagram-Adds-Photo-Filters-For-Android-And-iPhone/">launching its own photo filters</a> for Android and iPhone. The addition of photo filters to its mobile app was in response to Instagram pulling its inline previews of photos out of Twitter.<br /> <br /> Do you use Twitter?
