I found an interesting article the other day which stated the Library of Congress has gathered every public "tweet" since Twitter started four years ago. Just some numbers to think about........there are over 100 million active users on Twitter and there are an average of 55 million tweets per day. Matt Raymond, spokesman for the Library of Congress said the Twitter data stored are equivalent to a 1,135 foot tall stack of CD-ROMs. The article also has quotes from social media marketers who fear every tweet becoming historical record might scare away tweeters. Pretty interesting!
