While some individuals are reporting that Twitter’s growth has stalled, a recent study shows that Twitter is still growing at a fairly significant rate.

Just this past month, there were about 40 million tweets sent per day. 40 million tweets per day equates to a grand total of 1.2 billion tweets sent in January 2010.

In comparison with late 2008, Twitter’s total tweets per month has blown through the roof. According to the graph, the last month and year that 200,000,000 or fewer tweets were sent was back in March 2009.

Assuming that the results from their studies are accurate, this has to be encouraging for Twitter users. While the service did not track the number of active users, the total number of tweets is crucial to determining if the service is expanding as a whole.

The consistent month-to-month growth in 2009 (in terms of total tweets, excluding two months) is also worth noting, as it shows a general exponential growth shape. Twitter’s total traffic is well worth monitoring over the next few months to see if the total tweet count will continue to expand rapidly.

What are your thoughts on these findings? Do you believe that Twitter will continue to grow from a tweet count perspective?
