When a World Cup goal is scored, Twitter celebrates.
The social networking site is seeing huge traffic when a big goal is scored in the soccer tournament. Though Twitter normally sees about 750 tweets per second on an average day, there were 2,940 tweets per second, then a record, after Japan scored against Cameroon last 14 June 2010.
Nearly as much traffic was reported after Brazil's first goal against North Korea, as well as after Mexico's tying goal against South Africa on 11 June 2010.
Twitter has yet to announce its numbers for 18 June 2010 U.S.-Slovenia 2-2 draw, which was likely to have caused huge amounts of activity.
Basketball, though, is still trumping soccer. Thursday night's NBA Championship game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics generated as many as 3,085 tweets per second.
