36 months ago, Twitter was handling 5,000 tweets per day. In 2008 the number was 300,000. Last year it was an astonishing 2.5 million tweets each day of the week.
So, where do we stand in February, 2010? Just shy of 50 (fifty!) million tweets per day, or an average of 600 TPS (tweets per second).
The new data was published by Twitter analytics lead Kevin Weil in a blog post this evening.
According to Weil, “Tweet deliveries are a much higher number because once created, tweets must be delivered to multiple followers.” And, he wants you to know that the TPS numbers here do not include tweets from those accounts identified as spam.
While Twitter’s Tweet-count data shows strong growth, third-party data on other Twitter metrics shows slowing growth. HubSpot’s recent State of the Twittersphere report showed user growth slowing, while Compete.com and Quancast both show traffic to Twitter.com slowing.

Sometimes people think that they are the internet marketers without any real grounds for it. They waste your time, when you get to the marketing forums, and spoil a good name of an internet marketer as such. Unfortunately, there are very many persons of the kind in the internet space. They really do the bad [...]
This is part of 2 articles regarding the debate about the role Internet technology (IT) departments should play in making marketing software decisions. Read part one, “Why IT Shouldn’t Be Involved in Marketing Software Decisions,” written by HubSpot Inbound Marketing Specialist, Matt Sullivan.
Without a doubt, 
I know Information Technology. Over the past 10+ years working in IT Departments, including being the head of two different professional service IT departments for 7 years, I have come to know the ins-and-outs of IT. As a result I’ve been able to respond to feature requests, plan out development cycles and show the value of a platform. Regardless of how I was involved with a marketing software project, there always seemed to be the same speed-bump: being brought in too late to make the project a success.
1. Your IT team needs to plan for your project. Let’s face it: any software or Web project is going to touch IT somehow. Even something as simple as moving your website requires IT to do something. By bringing in IT early, you can allow them to plan to dedicate some of their resources to your project.
2. IT may not want the maintenance but will be called in anyway. Matt’s 7-hour car trip aside (7 hours in a car, 7 years as head of two IT departments — same thing, right?), anyone in IT can tell you that, despite trying to get out of it, they’ll have to help you out with maintenance of anything that touches computers. Very little is as frustrating as being surprised with product questions for a product you didn’t know existed. Oh, and don’t forget that the marketing department just might complain to executives that IT doesn’t know what it’s doing when IT can’t answer that surprise question…
3. Marketing does not understand IT. If you want IT’s time and attention (you know you will need it at some point during the project), try to understand their priorities. Businesses cannot survive without their technology, so IT’s primary purpose is to keep the virtual lights on. That puts your request at the end of a very long list. If you get IT involved in your decision-making process early on, you have a better guarantee of IT’s resources when you need them.
I agree with Matt that having a full strategy in place is the key to any large Web project. I even agree with Matt that IT should not make the final decision. However, failing to bring IT into the process after you’ve narrowed down your software choices to 3-5 different products or platforms practically guarantees failure. At the very minimum, it guarantees a lack of IT resources dedicated to you and continues to sour the already contentious IT/Marketing relationship.
At the end of the day, your IT department will appreciate you for getting them involved in the process. If you don’t, prepare to buy lots of donuts.
Join the debate! Do you think IT teams should or shouldn’t have a hand in making marketing software decisions?
