For Press Gazette Twitter has become a major source of traffic.

Of the 117,000 visitors to the site we had last month, four per cent came in via Twitter – making it our biggest source of referrals after Google.

It’s also a handy way to keep in touch with what our readers are thinking through the more than 1,000 whose Tweets we follow.

Hat tip to Julian Bray’s Duckhouse Blog for spotting the slideshow.
