Microblogging social network Twitter has surpassed 20 billion tweets a couple of hours ago. This landmark was achieved by Japanese user Passionate Pirro's tweet. Believe it or not, this 20 billionth tweet came after just less than 2 months of the 10 billionth update. So you can easily imagine the boom Twitter has seen in the last six months. 
Just yesterday, Pirro sent a twitter update and it was recorded to be the 20 billionth tweet! You check it for yourself herebut you'll be greeted only with codes and not a proper page. Pirro, a graphic designer and avid baseball fan, tweeted: That means the barrage might come back later all at once.
Started in 2006, Twitter saw its 10 billionth tweet by Andrea Alexander which also got the deserved attention. However, the gap of 10 billion tweets is just astonishing especially after the Super Bowl XLIV. We can sincerely assume that FIFA World Cup 2010 and several other international, national and local events had pumped Twitter updates online.
Twitter is 140 character limit micro-blogging platform wherein several users sign in every day. As per GigaTweet'scounter, the service gets about 727 tweets per second.
