Twitter revealed on Monday that officially reached 50 million tweets per day, excluding the count of spam messages made by robots. And that’s a record for the microblogging service.

“The tweets increased by 1400% last year, amounting to 35 million messages daily. Today we have a total of 50 million tweets per day, equivalent to about 600 tweets per second (and that is a lot!), “said Kevin Weil in a blog post on the official service.

For the site Read Write Web, the value becomes even more relevant when analyzed by approximately 20% of the tweets contain references to products or brands. However, the high number of tweets is not as significant when compared to Facebook or YouTube, which remain at the forefront of social networks. But this also means that Twitter is growing, and fast than expected.

The question is the distribution of all these 50 million tweets between users. Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch speculates that maybe all those millions of messages are not produced by about 10% of all users of the tool, since much of the content is actually repeated due to replication of retweets.
