Yesterday we called attention to the fact that at some time today Twitter would surpass 20 billion tweets. According to GigaTweet, the mark has just happened:
Our own @m4tt has found the legendary tweet:
Not too shabby for something that was only supposed to be a passing fad…

















And THE TWEET?
Hahaha, your guess is as good as mine, Thomas. Twitter could probably figure it out, but GigaTweet doesn’t give us that option.
Just go out and find it… by clicking on the status, you see the number :p
lol, yeah. Luckily Matt was smarter than me.
Translation from Google Translate:
That the minutes, uncovered, may come later … w Gosotto
That’s not the 20 billionth tweet, actually. Twitter’s bumped up ID numbers in the past, for instance in order to be able to say when the twitpocalypses were, so there’s going to be a sizable never-used range of IDs within that mostly likely.
That’s great

Excellent milestone and I did not think Twitter could reach this earlier :-)
Based on Website Monitoring’s data showing that 16% of tweets include a link that puts the number of shared links on Twitter at about 3.2 billion. It would be interesting to see what the number is for Facebook!
