Since Twitter was launched more then 10 BILLION have been sent on Twitter.
The milestone was announced by GigaTweet, a site which records a real-time history of all tweeting activity. However, they weren’t able to reveal the actual message because it was sent by someone using a protected profile. Perhaps it was interesting and insightful? We’ll never know.
Twitter usage continues to grow at an exponential rate. It took more than 2 years to reach 1 billion tweets, 15 months to reach 10 billion, and the 20th billion is expected some time in July 2010. An estimated 600 tweets are sent per second resulting in 50 million per day.
It’s a worrying statistic. By 2020, Twitter will account for 99.4% of all Internet traffic and every man, woman and child on the planet will be sending 350 tweets every day. Should we be concerned?

Gosh. It’s a big number that we can see and it’s increasing from time to time. A success for Twitter but who knows it might bring something different. Let’s hope there’s no negative effect from this or it will take a long long time to solve and heal it.
Btw, I always believe that Twitter rocks! =)
