I remember sending tweets back and forth to my Japanese friends and figured when it got to midnight over there that it was going to take Twitter down.. sure enough.. 5 solid hours of nothing on Twitter.. couldn't stop laughing. It wasn't until later did I realize the earthquake was also in there.. luckily it was far enough away to not cause massive damage.

Is that the all-time twitter record or the Japanese twitter record?
