Twitter takes the Olympic gold for speed
July 31, 2012
In the 2012 London Olympics, Twitter is taking center stage. It's the first Olympics where many of the competition results are hitting the Web through social networks before they're aired on television. Twitter revealed there have been more than 10 million Olympic tweets sent during the games so far. Twitter says the tweet volume is about 100 times what it saw during the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
