Twitterers Twitter the Billionth Tweet (Say That 10 Times Fast)

Twitterers Twitter the Billionth Twitter
Here at Switched, we're big fans of Twitter, the site that lets you tell all your friends instantly what you're up to -- even if it's really not much of anything at all. We've seen it used for marriage proposals, civil disobedience, even the distribution of classic literature. All those initiatives and more have led to one massive result: a billion tweets and counting.

Poptacular has a GigaTweet counter running that, as of now, shows over one billion, three-hundred million tweets. It's unclear just how accurate this counter is (as we'd think if this thing were really catching all of the tweets it'd bring the Twitter servers to a crawl), but we're sure this many (or more) comments have flown through in what has become an Internet phenomenon in the two years it has been around. Congrats! [From: Mashable.com]
