Michael Jackson Dies and brings down Twitter

Twitter Blog: Up, Up, and Away
Intersting factoid I came across today in the LA Times:On Twitter, the volume of Jackson-related messages -- up to 5,000 per minute at its peak -- was so high that some users reported log-in trouble.Twitter co-founder Biz Stone acknowledged the performance lag. "We saw an instant doubling of tweets per second the moment the story broke," Stone wrote in an e-mail. "This particular news about the passing of such a global icon is the biggest jump in tweets per second since the U.S. presidential election."
