There’s nothing we all like better than a bit of good news so it’s perhaps not that surprising that the world went crazy about Beyoncé’s baby announcement at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
Twitter pumped out an incredible 8,868 tweets per second on the subject of Mrs Jay-Z’s pregnancy, smashing the previous record of 7,196 tweets per second when the Japanese women’s football team beat the US in the World Cup back in July.
This new record comes as the increase in Twitter use continues. The microblogging site reports that its users are now sending 200 millions tweets a day – up from 135 million a year ago.
