Apparently, the number of Tweets on Twitter surpassed one billion earlier this week.
One word: stunning.
It really illustrates Twitter’s traction and how quickly it has become an essential online tool. Wait until the mainstream starts to embrace it!
More: Mashable picked up on the billionth Tweet development – albeit two days after this post!

So, where are these numbers coming from, and are they offical?
They’re coming from a service developed by Nathan Reed – http://popacular.com/gigatweet/.
Do you mean “surpassed”?
It’d be interesting to know who was the 1B and what it said… Let me guess, something like “Just woke up…”
Bennett: Yes, surpassed rather than surprised.
Felipe: I suspect you’re probably right about the billionth Tweet.
Where does gigatweet pull these numbers? Very intresting
