I love twitter, but I wonder how many of these 155 million tweets/day are spam?

bigstorm• 15 years ago

probably. But 155 m tweets/day is huge. I guess it's no more the birds carrying the blue whale. they have certainly improved their architecture, if not perfected it.

I did see the Fail Whale once or twice last week and my client (TweetDeck) occasionally hits API errors, so it isn't perfected quite yet. But handling 1800 tweets a second and pushing them to real-time streams is no small task.

Or just plain bot activity.

That's great and all - when are they going to do contextual ads... I'd love to try it out.

Well, this metric doesn't say anything about profit or profitability, even indirectly. It also doesn't say anything about number of users or active users as I expect a large portion of these new tweets to be made by bots.

It does tell me that Twitter has the infrastructure to handle the server load which I guess is somewhat interesting, but not much..
