The 'record-breaking' response to Steve Jobs' death: By the numbers

As I like statistical numbers I find this article interesting.

When steve Jobs died almost the whole world talked about it at lest thought of it. Can you imagine that 10.000 people per second were tweeting about his death the same day. According to The Economic Times it's the biggest online reaction to any event in recent history.

8.868 Tweets per second were registered when Beyonce announced her pregnancy during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards performance. It was a previous record.
