Twitter have today announced we are soon to break the 50,000,000 tweets-a-day mark which just underlines the massive growth the micro-blogging system has seen in the past 2 years.

Twitter HQ announced “Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that’s an average of 600 tweets per second. (Yes, we have TPS reports.)”
