Popular microblogging website Twitter has revealed that it has served its 10 billionth tweet last night at 1am GMT, one which was sent from a protected profile and which shall remain a mystery forever.
Unlike the marketing campaign by Apple a few days earlier to find out who was the one who downloaded their 10 billionth track from iTunes, Twitter did not dish out any voucher or prizes to the person who did it.
Gigatweet, a service whose sole purpose is to count Twitter messages, calculated Twitter will produce its 20 billionth twitter by October 2010 and is currently growing at the rate of roughly 66 million per tweet per day.
Twitter said last month that back in 2007, there were 5000 tweets a day, the year later, that reached 300,000 and in 2009, that number reached 2.5 million a day. Now this has reached more than 760 tweets a second.
The three-year old website is already the 12th most visited website on the internet. In comparison though Windows Live Messenger records nine billion messages per day and 1.5 billion conversations.
