Twitter has just surpassed the 10 Billion tweet mark.
According to GigaTweet, a tweet-tracking service, Twitter’s 10 Billionth tweet was tweeted at 6:54 PM US Central Standard time. Twitter has existed as a service for only 43 months, so the news that it has eclipsed this huge milestone is incredibly impressive.
This means that Twitter has averaged approximately 232.5 million tweets a month since July 2006.
Twitter broke 1 billion tweets in November 2008 and 5 billion tweets just four months ago.
Update: This was apparently tweet number 10,000,000,000. What a let down huh?
Update 2: This was apparently the 10,000,000,0001 tweet. Poetic.
Let's all tweet this and surpass another 10 million tweets.
*facepalm*
Amazing Stats. Hats off to all those who gave Twitter to the the online community. Thanks to Jack Dorsey :)

Facebook will take over twitter.
10 billion tweets is a significant selling point to businesses still debating whether or not to make use of social networking sites for marketing. Should print marketing such as postcard printing be replaced by tweets and retweets? From the two examples posted here, it seems a mistake to do away with printed marketing materials all together. Many tweets are senseless and the application may be difficult to fit to your business. Consider all the factors carefully for your situation and keep in mind that the best marketing strategy is to use a variety of methods, both print and online.
