"Oh Lord," Tweets Reach Five Billion Strong and Growing  

"Oh Lord" was the five billionth Tweet posted on Twitter, sent on Oct. 19, at 11 p.m.

With the total number of Tweets at 1.6 billion recorded last April, 3.4 billion Tweets have been sent over the past six months, suggesting a "massive growth in the use of the site."

Because Twitter has changed its numbering system on more than one occasion, they cannot be sure that this Tweet was really the five billionth one. But what they do know, is that the five billion mark has been passed and looks like nothing is going to slow it down.
