Look At This Chart! Instagram Is A MUCH More Used iPhone App Than Twitter

TechCrunch's Ingrid Lunden checked in with analytics company Onavo to see how Instagram usage has fared in the two weeks since it stopped allowing Twitter to pull its photos into the Twitter stream.

The verdict is that Instagram Web traffic is up some. That's not particularly surprising.

What is surprising is another chart from Lunden's post.

It shows that just over 18% of US iPhone owners use Instagram each day, versus under 11% for Twitter.

Twitter for iPhone is just 60% the size of Instagram on the iPhone!

There are, of course, other Twitter apps available for the iPhone other than Twitter's official app, Twitter for iPhone.
