To demonstrate just how large a number that is, Twitter decided to do the math and see how many books could be written with 200 million tweets. According to its calculations, a day’s worth of tweets would be enough to write a 10-million-page book or 8,163 copies of War and Peace. Every second, 2,400 tweets are sent through Twitter’s servers, enough for 1.4 billion tweets per week.
Twitter surpassed 50 million tweets per day less than a year-and-a-half ago, and two years ago, Twitter users sent just 10 million tweets per day.
Twitter is growing at a rapid pace — and that’s why it is worth around $10 billion. It still has a ways to go before it reaches Facebook and its 750 million users though .
What do you think of Twitter’s new milestone?
