‘Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell sets Twitter record
No, it wasn’t just your imagination.
Twitter was ablaze Sunday following the night’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, with show-related content practically everywhere you looked. According to Twitter, the social media love fest was even more intense than usual — setting a new tweet record.
“We’re breaking records over here,” wrote the Twitter communications team. “Last night’s episode of @GameOfThrones was the most Tweeted about episode of scripted television EVER with nearly 8 MILLION Tweets.”
Specifically, Variety reports that there were around 7.8 million unique tweets regarding last night’s episode. The previous record holder was, you guessed it, another Game of Thrones episode.
So there you have it. It wasn’t just you: Twitter users did totally swamp the service with Game of Thrones content. If you’re not a fan of the show, you can take solace in the fact that the series finale is scheduled to air on May 19. After that, you’ll have your old Twitter back. Joy.
