Twitter CEO Ev Williams posted a blog entry Thursday with an update on the microblogging service’s usage, which continues to grow sharply. More interesting than the numbers, though, was the message written between the lines: Twitter now has 145 million monthly users, and for the marketers who want to reach them, Twitter is the only way to go.

Now that we’re little more than a day from the launch of Apple’s social network Ping , reports are coming in that spammers are beginning to target the service — surprising no one.
