That's still somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+ people. I might go five or even six hours without checking twitter (got to sleep sometime, I suppose).

Heck, there are some DAYS I don't check twitter. -- 'An appointment is an engagement to see someone, while a morningstar is a large lump of metal used for viciously crushing skulls.
