Maybe not broke it, but there is smoke coming out and a humming noise. President Obama set a new record for political Tweets-per-minute. Broke his wife's mark from two nights ago with more than 50-thousand a minute:
The people listened…and tweeted in droves during his entire speech. The numbers dwarfed those seen during the Republican National Convention, and are absolutely jaw-dropping.
The President out-drew his first lady, Michelle Obama, whose speech made waves itself. Whether you’re a political junkie or not, it’s fascinating to watch an entire network of people join a discussion during huge global events.
Also, more than 9 million tweets about #DNC2012

Okay, things are evening out a bit. But all you Boomers need to calm down! Big dog has a big lead and doesn't need anymore love in this poll. GOBAMAS!
