Tweetastic

Apparently, over the weekend Twitter had its eighth birthday. (On March ^21st, to be exact)

It also turns out that I joined Twitter seven years ago yesterday.  (And another friend joined a year after that, as we discussed over the weekend)

I hadn’t appreciated that Twitter gained over 2 million users in its first year (It must’ve done, because my user ID is just under 2,000,500)

However, in that next year, it gained another 26 million users – my friend’s user ID is just under 28,100,000.

And now the new user IDs are coming close to 2 and a half billion – a recent one I created (for another project) was just under 2,400,000,000!

That really is quite huge.
