Over 100 million people will have tuned in to watch the Super Bowl - the self proclaimed Greatest Show on Earth™ - last night, and that's just in the USA. It's broadcast all over the world, and just like here in Canada there will have been many a viewing party.
According to LostRemote.com, the previous tweets-per-second records were obliterated by Madonna's half time performance. There were 10,245 tweets-per-second compared to 7,196 when Japan won the Women's World Cup.
That, again, was smashed come the final seconds of last night's big game - which saw a staggering 12,233 tweets-per-second. That's a lot of sore thumbs.
Everyone was tweeting about it, and we've rounded up some of the best tweets from the celebrity world. Have a look:
I believe in Eli. #SB46 #NYGiants

Alyssa Milano is known to be a big New York Giants fan, and she proved it last night posting this picture before the game:

We loved Strombo's description of the game beforehand:
K. Habs are up a few. The American version of the Grey Cup starts in just over two hours. Just enough time to fit in a skate #afternoonpuck

Nicky Hilton's tweet goes down as one of the most retweeted of the night:
So I heard they're gonna play football at the Madonna concert tonight.

Kelly Osbourne may have had a little accident:
I'm so excited for Madonna right now I'm about to pee my pants! M show the world how it's done! #superbowl
-- Kelly Osbourne (@MissKellyO) February 6, 2012
Then pretty much everyone on Twitter decided to share their views on said Madonna performance... from film stars to hockey players...
Apparently, Madonna saw the movie300 and thought, "I can go gayer." #Superbowl

Not a #Madonna fan but that was sensational stuff. An amazing live production. She called the #SuperBowl an almost religious event. Amen.
