Business Insider is reporting:
According to Twitter users set a record on Sunday night when Beyonce revealed her baby bump to the record-breaking VMA audience. From @twitterglobalpr: "Last night at 10:35pm ET, Beyonce's big MTV #VMA moment gave Twitter a record bump: 8,868 Tweets per second." That beats both the Virginia earthquake at 5500 tweets per second, and as the Atlantic Wire notes it also beats the record for Osama Bin Laden's death, which peaked at 5106 Tweets per second.
