The updates per minute are smoothed to 5 minute rolling averages and we've annotated the spikes so you can see what people were Twittering about. It's fun to see the real-time nature of Twitter updates during the shared event.

You can count me in on that... I was definitely one of the active Twitterers. What a game! I enjoyed getting Twitters from friends. Once again Twitter showed how dynamic an application it is.
Funny how it drops while Tom Petty was playing.
What does it matter if people's tweets don't make it to you?
I've seen it happen and others have too...

I think I tweet'd about 4 times when Eli evaded the sack and completed the pass. Then I looked twitter page and saw everyone use the same word. WOW
Not only was I twittering but referring to Twitter if I missed a play or wanted to see what others thought about the ads. :) Twitter is a great source for honest opinions.
Dear Twitter - If you would like to have more fun and interesting graphs like this for specific events and for your wonderful users, please give me a Tweet. I've developed tweetstats.com and ppl seem to enjoy their stats. :) I'd love to help Twitter evolve that aspect of your your business.

Although I don't follow American Football, the Superbowl aired here in the UK on the BBC, so I thought it would be interesting it 'track superbowl'. Of course my Jabber client was bombarded with all sorts of messages but as I watched for a while it was interesting: it was close to the call of the game and most people commented on similar things, but the highlight for me were all the random comments like "At home, completely avoiding the Superbowl." or "Stuck at work. Can't believe I don't get to watch the Superbowl."
Fantastic Stats - we will likely cover on ClickZ.com. Thank you for sharing.
