Social Media is changing the way we experience and enjoy important events, like last night’s Super Bowl. If you check out your Facebook news feed, I guarantee that at least one of your friends has shared his or her favorite commercial from last night. In the final three minutes of the game, there was a recorded average of 10,000 tweets per second (TPS)! This just goes to show the increasing relevance and popularity of Twitter during important events. While the majority of last night’s Twitter posts were about plays, scores, and athletes, others, like me, were tweeting about their Super Bowl food consumption.

To date, the event that holds the all-time record for tweets per second was the premiere of the Japanese movie “Castles in the Sky” with 25,088 TPS! What event do you think will beat out “Castles in the Sky” for the number one spot?
