Twitter is one of the webservices I deeply admire; simple, easy and scaled to the heavens. They did a review of 2011 with statistics that reaffirm that scalability. A few examples:
- UEFA Champions League: 6,303 tweets per second
- MTV VMA: 8,868 tweets per second
- Steve Jobs’ passing: 6,049 tweets per second
