Less than 10 days ago, Twitter users were blowing up the service with a record number of messages being exchanged back and forth in celebration of the Los Angeles Lakers beating the Boston Celtics in the seventh game of the NBA Finals. Just how many messages does it take to set a new Twitter record? In this case, the Laker victory brought forth 3,085 Tweets-Per-Second. According to TechCrunch, Twitter processes an average of 65 million Tweets on a given day, or a TPS count of around 750. arious World Cup games have already brought the service close to reaching this mark, but it was Thursday’s match between Japan and Denmark that broke the TPS milestone once again. According to Twitter, users sent an average of 3,283 tweets per second by the time the 3-1 game concluded.

“The second week of the World Cup continued to see consistent spikes in TPS after goals that are remarkable increases over our average of 750 TPS, However, we caution to call any goals a record this week both because many of the games were played simultaneously with another one and total numbers were fairly similar to the first week when only one game was being played at a time,” writes Kevin Weil, Twitter Analytics Lead, on the Twitters official blog.
