First 2012 Presidential Debate Saw 10.3M Tweets And Gave Politics A New Dimension
Yes, we know that tonight was a record-setting night for Twitter. The first 2012 Presidential Debate was the most tweeted about political event in company history. Whether you care or not, this is significant and worth noting.
We're seeing a shift in not only media, but in major historical moments like political campaigns. What Twitter does is add a new dimension of participation, allowing people from all over the world to share their thoughts and feelings in real-time about something that's really important.
Great insight and data from TechCrunch's blog post! We're definitely seeing a shift here and I'm glad a lot of people were watching the debate.. (or I hope they were!). It will be interesting to see what comes next in the coming debates.
