Hold on a minute. Are we talking about peak load or average load?

Saying Twitter averages 200 tweets/second is vastly different than peaking at 200 tweets a second.

Am I just being slow?

Edit: Nevermind, Robert is saying that the average is 200 tweets/second during periods of peak load. The headline here makes it seem like the maximum capacity is 200 tweets/second which is misleading.



I think what the data shows is that the average sort of wobbles around a bit. Check out the update to my post for a new image link to see it varying throughout the day.
