Tim Tebow's first NFL playoff victory set a new Twitter record. After an overtime touchdown pass, his loyal fans and celebs alike took to social media. After setting a new sports-related tweet per second record, Twitter, naturally, tweeted out the new record of 9,420.
Tebow-related tweets beat out the likes of the Royal Wedding (3,966 tweets/second), Osama Bin Laden's death (5,106 tweets/second) and Steve Jobs' death (6,049 tweets/second). The all-time tweets/second record is a popular Anime movie, Castle in the Sky in Japan which prompted 25,088 tweets/second in December.
If the tweets aren't satisfying enough for you, this Tumblr account has some impressive "Tebowing" images for your viewing pleasure.
