Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili, twitter
Even though it happened at around 11:30 on a Sunday night, Barack Obama’s speech on the death of Osama bin Laden has become one of the most active Tweeting sprees of all time.
“Twitter reached more than 4000 Tweets per second tonight at the beginning and end of President Obama’s speech,” Twitter wrote in an official company Tweet.
In a matter of hours, a search for “Osama” on YouTube brought up more than 2,000 new videos. Flash mobs also appeared at major landmarks throughout the country, including the White House, Ground Zero, and Times Square (where Gearlog captured the photo above).
