@Paul Virilio creating an audio stream of the ]complete[ Twitter data flow. Let's start with a simple calculation of volume:

|

# Audio (CD quality) 44.100 Khz X 16 bit X 2 channels = 1.411.200 bits(per second)!

@Paul Virilio having compared most reliable statistics on the number of tweets per day
|

|

it is reasonable to assume that Twitter produces an average of 2600individual tweets per second.
|

The estimated average length is 70 characters at 8 bit rate that is 2600 X 70 X 8 = 1.456.000 bits per second!

@Paul Virilio IN SHORT: TWITTER CURRENTLY PRODUCES ABOUT THE sameAMOUNT OF DATA PER SECOND (1.456.000 bps) AS A CD PROVIDES PER SECOND

for a matter of simplification, let's fix 70 characters as tweet's average length [as in side A]

70 micron is also about the size of grooves containing audio information on vinyl, not to mention 70 decibel which roughly indicates wax dynamics!

|

finally, about 70 rounds of a 45 rpm 12″ like this are necessary to complete each audio-tweet of 1 minute 40 seconds length

[it's true on "Tweet it!" there are also INTRO and OUTRO which only last 14 seconds and are not 140(0) bpm)

@ Paul Virilio this record is an audio transposition of Twitter informational stream, whose dromology appears to be numerically connected (140, 70, 14, etc.) to cd and vinyl format.
