NBA Finals Generate New Twitter Record
By Ben Haber
June 18th, 2010
Although the NBA finals didn’t turn out the way Celtics fans had hoped, they did prove to be great for Twitter. A record number of tweets – 3,085 per second – were posted during game 7 of the NBA finals last night, compared to their normal average of 750 tweets per second, an increase of over 410 percent.
While watching the game last night (and through the entire playoffs) I’ve been turning to Twitter to follow what local Boston sports writers and national NBA writers have been posting. Many have offered great insight, information and comments throughout the game, making the entire experience a lot of fun.
