Overnight, Twitter, that microblogging site that noone's talking about, crossed a spectacular threshold; 10 billion tweets have now been sent on the service, outlining quite how far it has come in just the past year or so.

Another staggering fact to come from the site monitoring the numbers is that the number of tweets being sent per day has rocketed from 30 million per day in January, to nearly 50 million per day last week.

If the rumours of user-numbers are correct (c. 70-100 million), that means the average user has sent over 100 tweets, and with the majority of new users only picking it up in the pats few months, this number should starting jumping higher and higher, faster and faster.
