This is significantly more than Twitter was processing just a few months ago. This increase in activity is also in line with a statement that Evan Williams, CEO of Twitter, made on January 12: Across all metrics that matter, yesterday was Twitter’s highest-usage day ever. Visualizing the growing use of Twitter To visualize the increase in Twitter activity over time, we have created a chart that shows the number of tweets per month back to mid 2008.
