Twitter Now Has More Than 140 Million Active Users Sending 340 Million Tweets Every Day

It’s Twitter’s sixth birthday, and to celebrate the company has posted some new stats over on the official Twitter blog.

They’re big, too: Twitter now has “more than 140 million active users” sending a heady 340 million tweets each and every day.

Or, in another words, over a billion tweets every 72 hours.

Take that in for a second. Wow.

Like Facebook, Twitter defines an active user as someone who logs on at least once per month. Yep, that doesn’t strike me as particularly active, either, but it’s become the industry standard for the term now.
