    Super Bowl finale in US sets Twitter record

    Washington (ANI): In the final three minutes of last night's Super Bowl, a new Twitter record was set for the highest amount of tweets sent per second during a sports match.

    The final 180 seconds of the match witnessed the sending of an average of 10,000 tweets per second, The Telegraph reports.

    The previous highest number of tweets posted a second in a sports match was during the Women's football World Cup final last year, between Japan and America.

    The match that ended in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out, helped set a new Twitter record, with 7,196 tweets published per second.

    The all-time record for the most tweets sent a second happened in Japan during the premiere of the Japanese movie, 'Castles in the Sky' last December. A whopping 25,088 tweets were posted a second during the film's debut. (ANI)
