In case you didn't know Twitter has an analytics team. Part of their job is to measure and understand growth. This graph tells a story of how Twitter's grown over the past three years in terms of number of tweets created per day. Note that tweets from accounts identified as spam have been removed so the counts in this chart do not include spam.
Tweeps were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day — that's an average of 600 tweets per second.
This brings me to the question Ive been thinking about lately which is...Do people have lives anymore or are we all just drones stuck to computers and mobile devices?

Print and Mobile Working Together
Influx drew my attention to Nokia's new Point & Find (beta) that more closely links in-market print efforts with the mobile web. The video below articulates it best.
Along these lines, there's been an increasing use of QR Codes on products and ads, which is another way of linking the physical world to the mobile web.
More popular in Japan and parts of Europe than in the US, QR Codes will gain steam here as increased consumer demand pulls device makers to include cameras and easy web browsing capabilities on all phones. But Ralph Lauren, among others, have already started including QR Codes on their ads:
What does it all mean?
With every day that passes the web is simply linking up tighter and tighter to the physical world. And the best description I've found so far of where this road probably leads is articulated here.
