Yet more proof our society is screwed

Reading this article about TPS (Tweets Per Second) and I've come to find out that the last couple minutes of the superbowl beat the TPS record (not surprising) crappy outcome aside what I found more depressing than mediocre passing and catching was the old record holders of the TPS. We really are screwed as a society.......

The TPS record has since been held by Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement at the MTV VMAs, at 8,860 tweets per second, which surpassed the U.S. women’s soccer team’s game at 7,196 Tweets per second. Among other notable Twitter events: Steve Jobs’ death at 6,049, Bin Laden’s death at 5,106 TPS, the day of the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami in March at 5,530 TPS, and the Royal Wedding in England in April at 3,966 TPS.
That makes me a sad panda
