From Twitter Blog:
"Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that's an average of 600 tweets per second."

Incredible growth. Former CEO of Coca Cola was once quoted as saying he would like to get every person in China to drink a can of coke a day. That's like 1.2 billion cans per day. If that happens, there probably wouldn't be enough factories to churn out enough cans of coke.
What would happen if the number of tweets reached 1 billion a day? Talk about information overload.
