Daily Searches On Twitter Should Reach One Billion Queries In May

Interesting report from Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineLand from Twitter’s Chirp conference, where Twitter CEO Evan Williams revealed that the network is generating about 19 billion search queries per month.

This puts well behind Google’s 88 billion, but it’s good enough to leapfrog Bing (4.1 billion) and Yahoo (9.4 billion) for the number two spot.

Most of these searches come via API, predominately constant searches that many of us have running in our favourite apps. (For example, I have one going 24/7 for ‘Twittercism’.)

No one partner generates a majority of Twitter’s search requests, but there are some that are noticeable.
