The 46th Super Bowl, one of the most anticipated events every year. The Super Bowl helped Twitter break the record for the most tweets in a second, with 10,000. The performance of Madonna at yesterday's half time show averaged about 8,000 tweets per second for five minutes. There were also 10,000 tweets sent in the last three minutes of the game. The last outraging three minutes' tweet broke the record for the most amount of tweets by a thousand which was when Beyonce's pregnancy announcement at the MTV Video Music Awards was spread. Yesterday was one of the most intense tweeting events of all time. Moe than 100 million users were active and sent more than 60 billions tweets.
I think this whos how much communication has evolved and a certain sports event is becoming a thing for everyone around the country and even the world. Communicating and updating the score over a website shows how much eaiser communicating with each other is and how helpful it can be for us from all over the world. With a single click, you can express your thoughts, message and opinion.
Sports has been developing drastically over the past 5 years. The Super Bowl was broadcasted in over 232 countries and in 34 different languages. This shows how much passion the whole world shows about each sports events.
I do agree with you about how it has become much easier yo communicate these days and that it has evolved magnificently. The super bowl always had millions of viewers, from 1967 with about 17 million viewers and ever since then, it has multiplied and has spread throughout the whole world. I think that twitter wasn't the only social network with booming posts, facebook and many other social networks always blow up when it comes to the superbowl. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI think that this shows the growth that twitter is having by connecting with sports and entertainment in ways that other forms social media can't. If twitter keeps on the path that it is on then it might overtake Facebook and become the number one form of social media. I also think that the use of twitter in sports and entertainment is a great way to promote different events.
