Twitter definitely does not have millions of daily active users. There are only 824M total tweets. Comparing IDs from posts 24 hours apart shows there were ~500,000 tweets in the past 24 hours.

I didn't say "millions", I said "a million". That's according to their own reports, and if there's 500'000 tweets, it's quite likely there's a million people sitting there with a tweeter client open (not everyone tweets every day).

Your guess is still way high. It's around 200,000 active per week. Probably close to that every day as well since it's a dedicated group.
