All the World's a-Twitter

 Twitter has surpassed 200 million users monthly, the San Francisco-based microblogger announced this week, via a tweet, naturally.

"There are now more than 200m monthly active @twitter users. You are the pulse of the planet. We're grateful for your ongoing support!", the company tweeted, within the 140-character limit, yet. As reported by Cnet.com, Twitter users produce one billion tweets every two days.

Never have so many done so much that means so little. Later this year, according to the Cnet post, Twitter is joining forces with tv ratings giant Nielsen to develop a tweet-based measure.

Twitter's vice-president of media described his company as "the world's digital water cooler."

Maybe because Twitter is refreshing but has no nutritional value.
