More than 1.2 billion ‘tweets’ were posted on micro-blogging website Twitter in January. Figures from web-monitoring firm Pingdom showed that there were 16 times as many tweets in January 2010 than there were in January 2009.
“Twitter is as of December processing more than one billion tweets per month. January passed 1.2 billion, averaging almost 40 million tweets per day. This is significantly more than Twitter was processing just a few months ago,” it said.
In fact, January 2010 saw more tweets per day (39.5 million) than the whole of September 2008 and activity on Twitter has doubled since August 2009.
