If they have, I missed it. Tweets during ad = 233,267 Ad = 1 minute Minutes per day = 1440 Tweets per day = 233,267 * 1440 = 335,904,480 If the average user tweets... 20 tweets per day = about 16,795,224 accounts 25 tweets per day = about 13,436,179 accounts 30 tweets per day = about 11,196,816 accounts Does anyone know what the average number of tweets per day is across all accounts? What are your thoughts on this? A bit surprised no one has done some backward math engineering on the number of tweets given in the ad. If they have, I missed it.

Tweets during ad = 233,267
Ad = 1 minute
Minutes per day = 1440
Tweets per day = 233,267 * 1440 = 335,904,480

If the average user tweets…

20 tweets per day = about 16,795,224 accounts
25 tweets per day = about 13,436,179 accounts
30 tweets per day = about 11,196,816 accounts

Does anyone know what the average number of tweets per day is across all accounts?

What are your thoughts on this?

Maybe free for twitter, but let's face it Sprint isn't trying to do anything for free. They want to advertise it so people buy bigger text msg'ing plans to use twitter. For Sprint it's all about making money (and rightly so) Free?
