Twitter Reaches Another Historic Milestone: 20 Billion Tweets

According to tracking service GigaTweet, and as reported by Mashable, Twitter recently just hit another historic milestone: a whopping 20 billion tweets since the service's launch.

Interestingly enough, Twitter reached the 15-billion tweet mark just two months ago (June 2010), and 10 billion tweets only five months ago (March 2010). These recent benchmarks strongly indicate that activity on the microblogging service is acclerating at unprecedented rates.

It should be noted that GigaTweet’s data is unofficial, but even Twitter acknowledged earlier this year that it is seeing more than 50 million tweets per day, and approximately 1,ooo tweets per second.

Along with this explosive growth, Twitter continues to add thousands of users every day, and the amount of media coverage devoted to the company rivals, and even exceeds, that of many Fortune 100 companies.
