Middle East Twitter users up fourfold in just three months

Twitter's Middle East user base nearly quadrupled in the last three months, according to reports.

The strong growth has been driven by rapid uptake in UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

But the region's user base is still tiny compared to markets like the US, with only just over 12,000 users registered.
