Tuenti hits 12 million

Posted on 10/04/2011 by Cristóbal Fernández, Director of Communications

October is going to be full of surprises, and we’re starting it off on an extremely positive note: Tuenti now has 12 million registered users! This marks a 33% increase from the same time last year, with 3 million new users in the last 12 months.

Tuenti keeps growing by leaps and bounds, with numbers that say it all: nearly 40,000 page views per month, along with daily stats including 200 million chat messages, 4 million photo uploads, and 6 million video plays. That adds up to 15% of Spanish Internet traffic passing through our platform.

We also continue evolving, as demonstrated by the huge increase in mobile users connecting to both m.tuenti.com, which boasts 1.7 million unique users a month that generate 700 million page views, and our mobile applications (for BlackBerry, Android, iPhone, and J2ME), with 2.5 million unique users each week.

Apart from quantity, all the sources (Nielson, comScore, etc.) also confirm our quality as the social network with the highest user engagement, averaging 100 minutes a day. What makes it possible? Our privacy policy and site security set us apart from other social networks in important ways; we don’t index users’ information on external search engines, so what you share on Tuenti stays on Tuenti. We are also constantly adding new content that makes the user experience on Tuenti even more enjoyable. Our central focus is to make Tuenti better every day through continuous improvements—such as the new Home Feed—that enrich communication among friends. Plus, Tuenti’s users have a world of entertainment available to them at the click of a button with our diverse game selection and extensive catalog of exclusive video content.

We’d like to officially express our thanks to each of the 12 million users that help Tuenti continue growing and improving with every passing day.
