The Leaders' Debate and Social Media
Last night was the first of the Leaders’ Debates broadcast on ITV. It was an experience that was enhanced by following the Twitter hashtag #leadersdebate.
A hashtag is a method that Tweeters use to tag a tweet about a particular topic, if you then search in Twitter for that particular hashtag you can see all the comments being made.
The general view of Tweeters using the #leadersdebate hashtag was that Nick Clegg was winning the debate, David Cameron was not being entirely convincing and that Gordon Brown was doing better than most people expected.
Tweetminster reports that there were in total 184,396 tweets with an average frequency of 29.06 tweets per second. In total there were 36,483 total tweeters and at it’s peak an incredible 41.05 tweets/second.
