There are currently more than 400 million tweets sent on any given day, according to Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo. The social media platform has more than 140 million users.
While some users only log in about once a month or so, according to the company, there are plenty of avid tweeps who more than make up for a lack of commitment by others. The popularity of retweeting, or RT’ing, has also made it easy to disseminate interesting information quickly.
