Twitter, a microblog blogger, said in its official blog in Friday

Here are some of the data from Twitter about the World Cup finals:

During the finals, users from 172 countries sent Twitter messages in 27 different languages.

After Spain scored the winning goal, users from 81 countries sent Twitter messages in 23 languages.

The World Cup final represents the longest-lasting event in Twitter history.

-Throughout the game, Twitter sent more messages per second than the company's average Twitter message per second; During the last 15 minutes of the game, Twitter sent an average of more than 2000 messages per second; When Spain scored the winning goal, Twitter messaging reaches 3,051 per second.

As the World Cup triggered a surge in Twitter traffic, the company's uptime in June this year has gone through a year-long low. In response to the World Cup, Twitter announced at the end of June that the default request rate limit for a application programming interface (API) was lowered from 350 to 175. To ensure fairness, Twitter said, the rate limit would be proportional and not set to a fixed value. Twitter had said at the time that limiting API rates was a more effective way to reduce the load, and that it would ensure that Twitter was used by the largest number of users.
