Remember when there were so many tweets during a Steve Jobs' Apple keynote that it use to cripple Twitter? Then remember when Michael Jackson's death took things to a whole new level and did the same? Well apparently, neither of those events have anything on New Year's in Japan. As they note on their blog today, Twitter saw 6,939 Tweets per second (TPS) four seconds after midnight on January 1st in Japan. This is a new record in terms of TPS ? in fact, it more than doubles the previous record of 3,283 TPS set during Japan's victory over Denmark in the World Cup last summer. "In fact, on New Year?s Eve, that all-time TPS record was shattered more than 68 separate times within a single 3-minute period," Twitter notes.
