The world in which we live is so incredibly interesting. I have not used Twitter, and as I’ve observed it to this point it’s so much of a social following, I’ve not been interested. NBA players, NFL players, and their rants just don’t interest me.

I heard on MPR this morning about “tweets per second.” When something huge happens, Twitter follows the activity by how many tweets per second the event is broadcast. It showed me again why I just have very little interest in Twitter.

When Osama bin Laden was caught and killed, the traffic was 5000 hits per second. Huge traffic. Now, to me, that makes sense. That’s literally a world changer.

The event that unseated that was the US – Japan World Cup Final. Again, with Japan overcoming such huge obstacles this year with the tragic tsunami, it was a great human interest story.

But this last week our culture was back to normal. THIS is now the record holder. I love Beyonce. This isn’t a slam on her. It’s just why I don’t use Twitter.

But, I need to go get a cup of coffee now. You can follow me! 😉
