The London Games were the first to take place since Twitter exploded, and boy, do tweeters love Usain Bolt and The Spice Girls.

150 million — Tweets posted about the Olympics

140 million — Approximate number of active Twitter users

9.66 million — Mentions of the Olympics opening ceremony on Twitter in a single day

80,000 — Tweets per minute about Usain Bolt’s 200-meter gold win, the record for tweets per minute during Olympic competition

116,000 — Tweets per minute (or roughly 2,000 per second) about the Spice Girls performance during the closing ceremonies, the record for that evening
