The social networking site, which has become critical communication infrastructure, will take 100,000 square feet in a downtown Atlanta data center, sources said Wednesday.
The data center expansion will cost up to $300 million in facility buildout and servers, computers and other electronic equipment, according to an industry source.
With the planned expansion, Twitter will triple its data center footprint in a nearly 1 million-square-foot data center at 1033 Jefferson St. In October 2011, Twitter took 50,000 square feet in the same data center.

Pretty soon the City of Atlanta will have more servers per capita than any place in the world!

About time. Hopefully it'll stop being over capacity.

Only bad thing is nearly all datacenters employ very few workers after completion of an initial build-out or upgrade. Interesting news to note anyway.

Anything Atlanta can get is good though. At least it's something to brag about I guess.

Its next to the Fulton County Jail, so the prisoners can tweet quicker.

It jobs so thats good news. Data center ops will get employed.

That said, I wish Atlanta was able to attract hardcore software engineering jobs from Twitter, Facebook, etc away from California, Seattle, etc.
