No one else seems to have noticed that these details are out of date. Twitter has publicly stated that they currently have "well over 200M active users". The stats are also misleading in that -- I'm pretty sure -- 300k reads and 6k writes per second are only referencing tweets. Flock, Twitter's graph database, handles more than 20k writes and 100k reads per second on its own (peak numbers available from the two year old Readme on Github).
