probably. But 155 m tweets/day is huge. I guess it's no more the birds carrying the blue whale. they have certainly improved their architecture, if not perfected it.

I did see the Fail Whale once or twice last week and my client (TweetDeck) occasionally hits API errors, so it isn't perfected quite yet. But handling 1800 tweets a second and pushing them to real-time streams is no small task.

Or just plain bot activity.

handling 1800 tweets a second [...] is no small task
It's funny how people consistently overestimate that. Actually, yes, it is a fairly trivial task and there's no justification for failwhaling over it when you have money to buy competent developers.
Many companies process orders of magnitudes more than that, under much harder constraints and much more complex requirements (think financial industry and telecoms).

that number is probably averaged out. I bet it's probably more like 100,000 a second around peak hours and 500 a second in non-peak.

Most of the companies you cite make on the order of dollars per transaction. It's easy to build out infrastructure to handle that volume when you're making that kind of money.
