Chelsea-Barcelona Set New Tweets-Per-Second Record

Football is more popular than football.

↵Yesterday’s Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona set a Twitter record with 13,684 Tweets per second (TPS). The organic, fan-voiced conversation peaked, as you’d expect, just after Fernando Torres scored his “Chelsea Dagger.”

↵The previous record was 12,233 TPS, set during February’s Super Bowl. America’s now second when it comes to publicly sharing inane and banal observations about sports? Might be time for another pep-talk commercial, Clint Eastwood.
