How many times do people tweet per day?

On average, around 6,000 tweets are sent per second, resulting in over 500 million tweets per day on Twitter^[1]. This implies that Twitter users collectively tweet about 18 billion times per month.

The average Twitter user, however, tweets only about two times per month^[2]. This suggests that while there is a high volume of tweets overall, much of the content is generated by a small percentage of active users.
