50 Million Tweets Created Daily On Twitter

2 Comments » Share

Twitter might not be as big as Facebook, yet it is high on demand when we talk about social networking. Despite the fact that Twitter is not revealing the actual figure of how many people use the service it is yet bigger than most of the social networks out there. Seems like Twitter does not believe is bragging out its numbers, yet it has released numbers relating to the usage, particularly how many tweets are created every day and the figure, 50 million, which is notable.

Twitter Blog says -

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.)

Further Twitter’s Kevin Weil explains, that the number of tweets moving through the system is many times bigger than the tweets created every day.

Tweet deliveries are a much higher number because once created, tweets must be delivered to multiple followers. Then there’s search and so many other ways to measure and understand growth across this information network. Tweets per day is just one number to think about. We’ll make time to share more information so please stay tuned.

The number is actually impressive as it displays the explosive growth with each year moving by. In just two months in 2010, the number of tweets grew from 35 million to 50 million. Facebook gets about 60 million status updates per day so, at least in this respect, Twitter is competing rather well with the social network giant.
