Far below the social networking giants that are Facebook and Google+, Instagram and Twitter are locked in a constant battle for third place. It was just a few months ago that we reported that Instagram had surpassed Twitter in terms of monthly active users but according to a recent poll, Twitter has managed to pass up Instagram.

In the battle for popularity between Instagram and Twitter, who do you think is the more popular? Granted both are different in their offerings, but if you had to pick, which would you think comes out on top? If you said Twitter, you would be right. This is according to a recent survey conducted by GlobalWebIndex (via AdWeek) in which Twitter came out on top. The survey involved polling internet users aged 16-64 around the world, and as you can see in the graph above, it seems that Twitter is far ahead in the lead in terms of users who have an account and users who actually use the service. Interestingly enough it seems that Google’s attempts at a social media platform in the form of Google+ has outpaced Instagram and Twitter as well, although Twitter is a bit ahead in terms of active users.
