A comment on What New Twitter Employees Do For The First Week. Parent comment
My figures: 900,000 transactions (500,000 posts + 400,000 comments) / 86,400 seconds per day:
~= 10 transactions per second on average, though like twitter, activity probably has a power law distribution corresponding with US daylight hours.
Reads: 2.3 billion / month Suppose a 30-day month, that's 86,400*30 or 2,592,000 seconds per month.
2,300,000,000 / 2,592,000 ~= 887 pageviews per second.
I was incorrect by an order of magnitude, though the same uneven traffic patterns caveat applies.
