A new Twitter record – 3282 tweets per second
On average Twitter sees 750 tweets per second being sent out says the Blog Herald. By comparison, a Twitter record was broken twice in succession last week, first during the NBA basketball finals in the States, and second during the Japan / Denmark match in the World Cup.
The Los Angeles Lakers / Boston Celtics game saw 3085 tweets per second being posted…but that record was quickly broken during the Japan vs Denmark 1st round World Cup match to see who would qualify for the 2nd round (Japan) when 3282 tweets per second were sent out.
Two observations around those stats:
1 – It’s another sign of live TV becoming a shared social experience via networks such as Twitter. Even though they might be watching a World Cup match on their own, people are tapping into a wider network of friends online, exchanging comments with them. The rise of social TV has been seen around everything from political debates to reality TV show finals (such as X-Factor here in the UK)
2 – Twitter has traditionally been seen as a US based network, but the fact that Japan / Denmark beat the record set in the NBA Finals shows that might be changing. When Sysomos published its table of % of Twitter users by country in January (the US was on 50.88%), neither Denmark or Japan featured in the top five – Japan was no 10 at 1.22% of the total.
And on that note, with the UK having 7.2% of users and Germany 2.49%, it will be interesting to see if there’s a new record on Sunday during the Germany / England 2nd round game.
Below, the Sysomos chart of Twitter users by country, from January. It’s not unreasonable to assume that the US total has dropped below 50% since then:

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I’m so extremely satisfied after reading this posting and I agree with your very last portion of this post. Incidentally, I’ve read this particular somewhere else as well. Have you got any other website too?
Have been looking at doing some SEO and improving the web design on my site for a long time, so this post has been really useful. Clear read as well, so thanks!
Unreal amounts of Tweeting. I am always amazed at how many people can express their thoughts at the same time in the same forum.
Considering that each tweet has an average of 2 cm height against the given rate of 3282 tweets per second, I can see a time-line with around 180Km per hour! Funny to imagine to drive a car that fast to keep on with the last tweet!
