From the link: "Twitter is seeing about 200 tweets per second, during peak loads. - Robert Scoble" Note "during peak loads", so 83 is probably not too far off.

  Fair enough. Do we have any solid references of the actual average rate of tweets?

    I haven't seen one, but it's easy enough to get it. Just check the UID of the latest tweet on the public timeline, wait a week and check again.

They must read HN. It now says: 2 at a rate of 151 tweets per seconds

  "Values updated every 5 minutes". Looking at the source (I don't actually know JavaScript, but it seems pretty simple) I'm assuming that means they get the current TwitID AND the current rate of increase.
