Interestingly, Andrés Ianesta's goal for Spain in the 116th minute did
not break the record for most tweets in a single second, which was
set after the Japan bested Denmark in the group round. Japan is
apparently really
into tweeting, even though they call it "mumbling." Just after the referee's final whistle, 3,283 tweets per second flooded over the ether. Perhaps a few even emanated from Denmark.
Ianesta's goal beat the Dutch, but it couldn't beat the Japanese Twitterati. The Spanish midfielder will have to be content with a World Cup championship -- and inspiring a strong series of 3,015 tweets per second.and @SFWeekly
