Just five months after the 10 billionth tweet, the 20 billionth arrives

by Dave Larson on July 31, 2010

It took for Twitter four years to reach its first 10 billion tweets

The 20 billionth tweet came 10 times faster than the first ten billion. After tweeting it, the user tweeted (translation from IDG News Service):

“It looks like I posted the 20 billionth tweet. I’m getting replies from people all over the world. It’s scary. What are the chances? Maybe I’m going to die. Is it more amazing than winning the lottery? I thought it was a joke”

The 20 billionth tweet:

Hello Dave,
I came by to say congrats on hitting 200k! The above post is hilarious, thanks for sharing it along with all the other Twitter Gems!

You’ve been my # 1 teacher since I started up on Twitter in June. I’m one of the 200 k little ducklings that follow you for reliable, trusted and top-notch information!

Many thanks, Dave. Do let me know if ever there is some way I can return all the kindness you’ve shown me.

Wishing you continued success and happiness,
Gems
