50,000,000 is a lot.

But

2,500,000,000 text messages are sent each day in the USA through wireless networks when measured in early 2009.

"even if half of tweets were sent via text message that would still only be 1% of the text message traffic."

Only if you assume everyone has zero followers (who receive tweets via SMS).

I wonder how many of those text messages are facebook status updates.

even if half of tweets were sent via text message that would still only be 1% of the text message traffic.

And 25 million tweets sent via text message is probably a high estimate.
