Twitter has surpassed 15 billion tweets less than three months after it broke the 10 billion count.
The above tweet, sent minutes ago from @EGRK, is the 15 billionth tweet sent on the popular microblogging service. It is yet another milestone for the maturing company.
Tweet #15,000,000,000 is also proof that Twitter’s growth is accelerating. Twitter broke one billion tweets in November of 2008. It took nearly a year for it to reach 5 billion.
Tweet growth has been accelerating, though. Twitter surpassed 10 billion tweets on March 4th, 2010, growing by 5 billion tweets in just four months. Now it has jumped from 10 billion to 15 billion in less than three, showing that engagement is rising, not falling.
We want to note that tweet #15,000,000,000 may not correlate to the actual 15 billionth tweet, because the tweet IDs have been changed several times due to the Twitpocalypse. The count is artificially high, but it’s unclear by how much. Still, the engagement growth is a great indicator for the health of the Twitterverse.
