Twitter stats

From Twitters Blog...

Halfway through 2011, users on Twitter are now sending 200 million Tweets per day. For context on the speed of Twitter’s growth, in January of 2009, users sent two million Tweets a day, and one year ago they posted 65 million a day.

For perspective, every day, the world writes the equivalent of a 10 million-page book in Tweets or 8,163 copies of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Reading this much text would take more than 31 years and stacking this many copies of War and Peace would reach the height of about 1,470 feet, nearly the ground-to-roof height of Taiwan’s Taipei 101, the second tallest building in the world.

A billion Tweets are sent every five days. What’s in them? Everything about every topic imaginable – whether it’s a unique bird’s-eye view of the Shuttle launch as seen from an airplane window or cheers of support for soccer teams in this year’s Champions League tournament. Using Twitter helped a homeless man reunite with his daughter, sent two Cincinnati Reds fans to spring training on a player’s dime, and even helped residents of a small city in Korea find fresh water after its supply was cut off.

Something To consider......

Have you ever wondered sometimes why we can't live in true community? We all live in communities of our family, friends and neighbors. What would it mean if we were in true community?
I have been doing some reading in this concept/idea and find it fascinating. How it applys to everyday like and particularly when it comes to camp.
This week I kind of attended Reunion at Camp Bountiful. I had to go back and forth to work everyday, so I would get up in the early morning and drive the hour it takes to get from camp to my office. The drives to and from were not supper bad any day. I just turned on some music and sailed along. Then I would return in the evening and get to spend a few hours with everyone before lights out.
On Thursday night there was a talent show. After the talent show, the song "One Tribe" came on and those that attended Sr. High camp gathered in a corner and did the Sr. High dance that was set to that song. It was really cool to see them get together and do that.
During Sr. High Camp we became a community and last night that community was revisited.
That showed me, even though the community of Sr. High Camp 2011 is no more, it is still very much alive and well within the hearts and minds of the participants.
It was sweet. ......
