Santa Brings Bump Its Biggest Day Of Sharing Ever, Swapping 20 Photos A Second

As every iPhone developer knows, Christmas Day is the busiest day of the year, as millions of people unwrap their shiny new iPhones and promptly go on an app download spree (I'm sure Android sees a similar phenomenon). Which means it isn't terribly surprising when Bump, a Sequoia-backed startup that makes it easy to share data between phones, says that today is the biggest day of traffic it's ever had. Then again, the fact that people are currently sharing 20 photos per second is quite impressive. Bump CEO David Lieb says that Bump's traffic is currently 2.4 times as high as it was a week ago, and that the service is on pace for 2 million shared items today, with a peak load of 30 items per second (in addition to swapping photos, you can share music, contact information, and calendar events using Bump).
