According to a blog post by the Twitter analytics team, the social networking giant is seeing around 50 million tweets from its user per day. This is around a 1,400% increase over last year.

Twitter users were posting about 5,000 times a day back in 2007, around 300,000 times a day in 2008 and about 2.5 million tweets per day in 2009. That is around 29 tweets per second, on average.

Twitter users now post around 50 million tweets per day, which is just under 600 tweets per second, on average.

The Twitter analytics team did say that this number included the tweets from accounts that are marked as spam.
